Daniel Boone: His Own Story
Boone is my Great Grandfather with 5 greats. The stories are true and exciting and interesting. Boone does not have a bias for or against indians. What I like about his stories in the book is that he explains why he did things. For example he jumped around in the open to get the two indians to shoot their weapons. After they fired, he had time to shoot one and then go after the other with his hunting knife which was a long knife. He did not put down ... Read More

There are many, many, factual errors in this book, starting with Daniel's birth date which is given as 1746. He was actually born in 1734.

Daniel Boone: His Own Story
I HAVE BOTH OF THESE BOOKS, AND REALLY ENJOYED READING THEM. I LOVE TO READ ANYTHING ABOUT DANIEL BOONE AND DAVY CROCKETT. I ALSO ORDERED THE DANIEL BOONE BOOK BY ROBERT MORGAN. HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO READ IT YET.
THEY ARE DEFINITELY WORTH BUYING.
SALLY REPASS

Here's a word from someone who should know more about history but does not (I'm working on it). This book on Crocket is really not quite what some of you might expect. Only the very beginning is by Crocket himself and it's quite brief. I was very disappointed by that. Had I known more about history I might have known ahead of time that he did not write a whole lot (although he comes across as quite intelligent and learned). The rest of the book is just not that great. Worth a read, but not a hearty recommendation.
