Finding Daniel Boone by Ted Franklin Belue

Finding Daniel Boone by Ted Franklin Belue

Finding Daniel Boone is a unique tribute to America's frontier hero and offers closure to the greatest of all his mysteries: where he was buried. Part biography, part historical travelogue and eloquently narrated using fresh sources, rare forensic data and new field interviews, this is more than just a search for a man's bones. Fully re-creating Daniel's lost world, noted historian and author Ted Franklin Belue journeys along the famous Pathfinder's last trail, from Missouri and back to Kentucky, meeting a host of colorful characters. As little has been written about Boone's western days, where he lived the longest, this work examines the legendary woodsman's life as much as his death.

Ted Franklin Belue is also the author of Finding Daniel Boone: His Last Days in Missouri & the Strange Fate of His Remains and The Hunters of Kentucky: A Narrative History of America's First Far West and has edited two Boone biographies, including Lyman C. Draper's landmark work, The Life of Daniel Boone. He has served as a consultant and on-air commentator for the History Channel and advisor for A&E, BBC, and NBC and survived the French and Indian War as a Hollywood extra in The Last of the Mohicans. He lives in Murray, Kentucky, with his wife, Lavina, and a horde of dogs, cats, guitars, and banjos.
