Drury and Clavin have written a very-well-researched piece about the American legend, Daniel Boone. While I was anticipating a more novelized version, this unemotional, fact-based version paints a clear, realistic picture of the beloved woodsman. It also clearly explains his role in both readily familiar as well as more obscure historical events. The book is definitely a vocabulary booster, and made me glad that I could simply highlight words such as chiaroscuro, atavistically, and eponymous on my Kindle to discover their meaning. I recommend this book to both those who have a passion for American history and those who simply want to know a bit more about Boone and the times in which he lived. I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of Blood and Treasure from St. Martin Press via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.

Blood and Treasure: Daniel Boone and the Fight for America's First Frontier
By: Bob Drury and Tom Clavin
This is an in-depth novel about the life of one of America's great forefathers, Daniel Boone. Largely biographical follows his life from near age 10 to age 76, even though he died at age 85. The book follows Daniel Boone's many adventures as a scout, frontiersman, hunter, explorer, and family man.
Daniel Boone was captured several times by hostile Indians. They held him prisoner and absorbed him into their tribes. He would bide his time and escape back to his family on the frontier.
It's a great biography, you find out more of who the man Daniel Boone was, rather than just the folk hero.
I received a complimentary copy from the St. Martin's Press and Shelf Awareness, I was under no obligation to post a review.
