really liked it

This book was a real page turner - I just couldn't put it down. I was glad to learn so much of the history of the land struggles between indigenous tribes and settlers and to read a sober/realistic portrayal of Daniel Boone's life. I believe the authors honored the dignity of the tribal cultures, but I'd love to hear a native historian's perspective on that.
