Drawing from popular narrative the public record scraps of documentation from Boone's own hand and a treasure of reminiscence gathered by nineteenth - century antiquarians Faragher uses the methods of new social history to create a portrait of the man and the times he helped shape. Blending themes from a much vitalized Western and frontier history with the words and ideas of ordinary people Faragher has produced a book that will stand as the definitive life of Daniel Boone for decades to come and one that illuminates the frontier world of Boone like no other.
