Product Information
The embodiment of the American hero, the man of action, the pathfinder, Daniel Boone represents the great adventure of his age--the westward movement of the American people. Daniel Boone: An American Life brings together over thirty years of research in an extraordinary biography of the quintessential pioneer. Based on primary sources, the book depicts Boone through the eyes of those who knew him and within the historical contexts of his eighty-six years. The story of Daniel Boone offers new insights into the turbulent birth and growth of the nation and demonstrates why the frontier forms such a significant part of the American experience.

Reviews
"Piecing together the truth from second- and third-person reports is not an easy task, and no original Boone autobiography and few firsthand interviews are in existence." -- Andrea Watkins, H-Net Review, ""Concise and readable, Lofaro's book seeks to escort Boone out of the realm of folklore and legend and seat him in the American pantheon next to his contemporary, George Washington."-- Virginia Quarterly Review " --, "Lofaro has skillfully and authoritatively mapped the roots and routes of this wilderness wanderer who could not control his 'itching foot.'... Striding through battles and bloodshed, Boone breathes and lives in this work, lightened with humorous anecdotes and descriptions of frontier customs and traditions. Lofaro's exhaustive research is evident on every page."-- Publishers Weekly, ""This is the best recent biography of Boone. Carefully documented with attractive illustrations, a detailed bibliography and even a partial genealogy of the Boone family, it is recommended to all who have an interest in the history of our state."-- Bowling Green Daily News " --, "Shot through with impressive scholarship that takes Boone, as much as possible, from myth and tall tales (and television-inspired error) and puts him into realistic historical perspective." -- Times of Acadiana, ""Boone was one of the early nation's most influential figures. Lofaro's highly readable and lively biography does this frontier hero justice and does not shirk on providing historical context."--Ellen Eslinger, DePaul University" --, ""An excellent factual narrative that is well-written, every bit as interesting and exciting as the tall tales, and with just enough references to the alternative legendary accounts to keep the reader grounded in facts."--Richmond Times-Dispatch" --, "This is the best recent biography of Boone. Carefully documented with attractive illustrations, a detailed bibliography and even a partial genealogy of the Boone family, it is recommended to all who have an interest in the history of our state." -- Bowling Green (KY) Daily News, ""A book any serious early Americanist should buy for a personal collection or order for the library. It's readable, entertaining, full of useful and fascinating information, and short."--East-Central Intelligencer" --, ""Discredits some present-day assumptions about the life of the famous 'Long Hunter,' leaving in their place a more nuanced impression of Boone that surpasses the one-dimensional myths and lending complexity to the image of a frontier hero and the dynamic era in which he lived."-- Union County Advocate " --, ""Distills the essence of the man, showing the historical pattern that serves as the basis for Boone's ambivalence toward civilization and, in so doing, illustrating the impact of the American Revolution on the Kentucky frontier.... A solid first book on Boone for both students and general readers."-- Library Journal " --, "Lofaro carefully sifts through the facts and stories to draw a detailed picture of the Kentucky pioneer.... A great read."-- New York Sun, "This brief and balanced book effectively distills what we know about Boone's life story into a crisply paced narrative." -- Stephen Aron, Journal of Southern History, ""This is the best recent biography of Boone.
