Daniel Boone- Frontier Scout.....Justin 10 in San Antonio

I read this book for a school project. I didn't know anything about Daniel Boone before I read the book. I learned Daniel Boone joined the militia when he was 20 years old. He had eleven children and they all lived in a one room cabin. He hunted for food and skinned the animals for clothes and blankets. He lived in many different states. I learned that Daniel Boone was captured by Shawnee Indians in the beginning of 1778. The Shawnee Chief adopted him as his own son, because the chief's son was killed in battle. He was able to talk the Shawnee Indians into not killing him and his men if they would hunt for the indians. He escaped from the indians in the summer of 1778. I learned about frontier life and why Daniel Boone is famous. I would tell a friend to read the book if they need to do a report because it is interesting and you can learn about things you didn't know before.

Authentic Reliable Informative - Facts.. Not Rumor or Legend

Great book because it is REAL. Wonderful Boone keepsake book for adults as well as children. This is a wonderful book to give as a gift to children whom you want to learn and know about this man who was an honest to goodness American pioneer hero and just a good person. Glossy heavy pages - sturdy hardback - filled with beautiful color photos (actual photos!) and illustrations. The book goes from his early years through his death and also includes a separate Timeline, Glossary, Recommendations for further reading, Places of interest (in connection with Boone) and how to contact them, Internet sites, and Index. Bright, colorful, interesting and informative. You can't go wrong. Destined to be a collectable.
