Daniel Boone and the Fight for America's First Frontier
by: Bob Drury & Tom Clavin
narrated by: George Newbern
rating: liked
This book is as much about Daniel Boone as it is 18th century American history and how "Americans" came to fight and claim this land. This is written more like a history textbook that uses Boone's life as the through line to tie all of these violent acts together. I went in expecting more of a biography of Boone (which they do reference John Mack Faragher’s biography of Boone), but I got more of a biography of the American frontier during Boone's life.
Content Warning: This book covers the violence between Native Americans and white settlers and the violence that both sides performed against one another.
