Recenzii
"With Mr. Morgan as biographer, Boone definitely lucked out...Stunning." -- The Dallas Morning News
"The flesh-and-blood Boone who emerges is vivid and rare, a far cry from the enigmatic icon. This is historical biography at its best."--"St. Louis Dispatch"
"[A] revelatory biography. . . . What Morgan has done with his Boone is to make the man important as an entry point for today's readers into what has become legend."--"The Boston Globe"
"The thoroughness and authority of "Boone" are beyond dispute. Though there have been many biographies of Boone...this one strikes me as ideally suited to today's reader with its vivid descriptive passages (Morgan is, after all, a novelist and poet), its persuasive portrait of Boone and its firm sense of his place in American history."--Jonathan Yardley, "The Washington Post Book World"

Descriere
The story of Daniel Boone is the story of America--its ideals, its promise, its romance, and its destiny. Bestselling, critically acclaimed author Robert Morgan reveals the complex character of a frontiersman whose heroic life was far stranger and more fascinating than the myths that surround him.
This rich, authoritative biography offers a wholly new perspective on a man who has been an American icon for more than two hundred years--a hero as important to American history as his more political contemporaries George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. Extensive endnotes, cultural and historical background material, and maps and illustrations underscore the scope of this distinguished and immensely entertaining work.
