Daniel Boone: His Own Story

Daniel Boone: His Own Story Boone is my Great Grandfather with 5 greats. The stories are true and exciting and interesting. Boone does not have a bias for or against indians. What I like about his stories in the book is that he explains why he did things. For example he jumped around in the open to get the two indians to shoot their weapons. After they fired, he had time to shoot one and then go after the other with his hunting knife which was a long knife. He did not put down his empty rifle. He used it like a shield to block the attack of the second indian like a Roman sholdier would fight. The only problem with the book is that his speech was not so close to Oxford English and I believe someone else rewrote the stories in a more intelligent way from the way he actually spoke.
