Half a Million Wild Horses: An Informal Biography of Julina Boone

Julina Boone King outdid her famous relative, Daniel Boone, in achievement, self-assurance, and success, and that, too, with more modesty and pure individualism. Lives of few men and women can tally with hers in mental and physical courage, common sense and business acumen, coupled with a keen sense of humor, complete responsibility as a parent, and the ability to dream big and produce. Her unschooled language - impossible to translate into campus grammar - is reported factually. In fact, ir so fitted her personality as to be untranslatable - without having the real Julina disappear from the page. In spite of her illiteracy, her rank is first in motherhood, child-training and encouragement, and only incidentally, possibly "tops" in the world of horsewomen.
