An excellent accounting of the adventures of Daniel Boone. Filson was a pioneer beside Boone after the establishment of the settlement at Fort Boonesboro in Kentucky, and though the account was written from the perspective of Boone, it is not stylized and seems to be a very good accounting as if Boone were relating the story directly and merely being written by Filson.
