Review:
A richly textured portrait of a fascinating, complex man...Faragher's work is unique.
-- "San Francisco Chronicle""Boone is worthy of historical attention as a personification of the westward movement. Faragher has written an absorbing, definitive biography."
-- "Publishers Weekly"[Grover Gardner] reads this with a quiet voice, using a variety of expressions and intonations. Faragher's story, combined with [Gardner's] narration, aids in the digestion of this new insight into early American history.
-- "Library Journal"Well written and immensely satisfying in several ways, this biography separates myth from fact while also showing that this is a man about whom legends have been made...Boone speaks to the American spirit in an elemental way that is wonderfully conveyed by this author, in a book that readers will find memorable.
