Summary
Daniel Boone was a fabulous hunter and explorer, and a "white Indian," perhaps happiest when he found a place as the captive, adopted son of a chief who was trying to prevent the white settlement of Kentucky. The story takes… us into the life-and-death survival of people pushing away from security and into Indian lands, despite sense and treaties, just before and into the War of Independence. The love story between Boone and his wife, Rebecca, is rich and tangled, but mostly it is Boone who fascinates, pushing into places where he imagines he can create a new "clean" world, only to find death, trouble and complication. Winner of the 2016 BC Book Prize. 2015.
