Not a bad read, a two-fisted frontier adventure starring Daniel Boone (here known as Dan’l). I’m not familiar with the historical details of the real life Boone, but I’m pretty sure this series of adventure novels is a highly fictional version of the truth. Nevertheless we get a fun yarn of Dan’l fighting and brawling against the French army and hordes of vicious Shawnee warriors. Much blood is spilled as our intrepid hero seeks vengeance against a psychotic French commander who kilt some kin of Dan’l, and he won’t rest until he has the murderer under his knife. If you’re looking for an easy to read frontier adventure and aren’t afraid of some blood-soaked killing and scalping, this is okay. Recommended.

I am a big Daniel Boone fan. While I know these stories are fiction based on his life I still enjoyed them. Recommended
