Boone (Shannon Ravenel Books (Paperback)): A Biography

by RobertMorgan (Author)

Synopsis

This is a thoroughly researched, crisply written, and convincingly argued chronicle of the iconoclastic figure. This fascinating, misunderstood, and enigmatic subject leaps to life and off the pages of this seminal work. A bestselling novelist turns his talents to history. Like Shelby Foote, who wrote fiction prior to launching a successful career in historical research, Morgan's background makes this biography engaging, energetic, and masterfully told. This book brings colonial America to life - Morgan fleshes out his narrative with a backdrop of life in colonial times, examining the domestic, political, cultural, and natural world of early America. It contains extensive maps and illustrations throughout. Also includes 30 pages of notes and an extensive bibliography.
