A heroic symbol of the American imagination. A Short And Accurate Narrative Of Boone's Life And Adventures Compiled From The Draper Manuscripts And From Earlier Printed Biographies. “Reuben Gold Thwaites; who succeeded Draper as Wisconsin’s State Historical Society secretary; certainly contributed (besides a well-written Daniel Boone’s biography based upon his predecessor’s work) his strong hand in harnessing some of Draper’s most critical Kentuckiana.†-Ted Franklin Belue; Hunters of Kentucky: A Narrative History of America's First Far West; 1750-1792 “Thwaites was one of the founding generation of modern history. He transformed the society into a research center that complemented one of the nation’s most distinguished history programs at the University of Wisconsin; and he supervised the publication of collections of historical documents; which set the scholarly standard for modern historical editing….Thwaites was the first to suggest that placing Boone in realistic perspective required abandoning romantic interpretations.†-John Mack Faragher; Daniel Boone: The Life and Legend of an American Pioneer Daniel Boone (November 2; 1734 – September 26; 1820) was an American pioneer; explorer; and frontiersman whose frontier exploits made him one of the first folk heroes of the United States.

It is printed in black and white (I thought children's books were suppose to be colorful?); not very informative or long. Im not sure how the can justify the price for this book.
