Boone: A Novel of an American Legend

Judd's expansive recounting of the pivotal years of the Boone legend. Boone's life was marked by destiny and contradiction. Quaker born, peace-loving, yet a celebrated warrior. Sympathetic, and much like the American natives, yet trailblazer for white civilization. Devoted to family, he spent months apart. Intensely private, yet called into leadership. He was landed, yet impoverished. Trusted, yet criticized, and courts-martialed by peers.
