History buffs will be entertained." -- Publishers Weekly "Popular historians Drury and Clavin deliver a ripsnortin' tale of the early frontier and its first and most powerful legend. [ Blood and Treasure ] offers a vivid account of Boone's frontier years, one that may not be for the faint of heart." -- Kirkus Praise for the work of Drury and Clavin: "A ripping yarn." --Laura Miller, Salon "Vivid...Lively...A tale of lies, trickery, and brutal slaughter." --Christopher Corbett, The Wall Street Journal "A page-turner...the narrative has a remarkable immediacy." --Kate Tuttle, The Boston Globe "Exquisitely told...remarkably detailed." -- USA Today "Filled with an overabundance of details ..." --Dallas Morning News "Drury and Clavin have now given us the fullest and most readable account ... against which all subsequent efforts must be measured." --Joseph J.

SynopsisThe Instant New York Times Besteller National Bestseller "[The] authors' finest work to date." -- Wall Street Journal The explosive true saga of the legendary figure Daniel Boone and the bloody struggle for America's frontier by two bestselling authors at the height of their writing power--Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. It is the mid-eighteenth century, and in the thirteen colonies founded by Great Britain, anxious colonists desperate to conquer and settle North America's "First Frontier" beyond the Appalachian Mountains commence a series of bloody battles. These violent conflicts are waged against the Native American tribes whose lands they covet, the French, and the mother country itself in an American Revolution destined to reverberate around the world. This is the setting of Blood and Treasure, and the guide to this epic narrative is America's first and arguably greatest pathfinder, Daniel Boone--not the coonskin cap-wearing caricature of popular culture but the flesh-and-blood frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero whose explorations into the forested frontier beyond the great mountains would become the stuff of legend. Now, thanks to painstaking research by two award-winning authors, the story of the brutal birth of the United States is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and larger-than-life men and women who witnessed it. This fast-paced and fiery narrative, fueled by contemporary diaries and journals, newspaper reports, and eyewitness accounts, is a stirring chronicle of the conflict over America's "First Frontier" that places the reader at the center of this remarkable epoch and its gripping tales of courage and sacrifice.
