Daniel Boone
John Stevens Cabot Abbott
Read by Allyson Hester
This is a detailed biography of the life and adventures of Daniel Boone. His accomplishments are brushed over in history classes these days and not given the recognition they deserve. This biography clearly paints a picture of the benevolent person of Daniel Boone as well as the achievements he made in furthering European settlement in America.

Reviews
reader leaves a lot to be desired
A LibriVox Listener
good information in the book but the reader does not pronounce locations correctly, that may seem trivial but it's very annoying

Superbly written and superbly read. I learned a lot. I recommended it to my grandson for the historical value.
Good Reader, Exciting Frontier Stories
Preston E
For those who enjoy the imagery of woodland log cabins and musket clad pioneers, this is a fun book to get lost in. It details some of the early settlers' conflicts with the Native Americans. While the author acknowledges the mistreatment of the natives by the white settlers, he still shows plenty of bias towards the settlers. Still, he seems to be genuine in telling the facts so far as he understands them. The book rambles a bit chronologically, but it gives many examples of frontier life during Daniel Boone's life; a great escape into a more rugged and exciting way of life. There is one reader the entire time and she does an excellent job.

This is the most detailed and grippingly adventuresome Boone biography on Libravox. It compliments the other two. The reader is very pleasant and any mistakes in pronunciation are humorous, but not distracting.

very interesting and well read. it seems hard to imagine that wilderness and men like this really existed , I feel saddened it all had to change.
