Reviews
"The thoroughness and authority of Boone are beyond dispute. Though there have been many biographies of Boone...this one strikes me as ideally suited to today's reader with its vivid descriptive passages (Morgan is, after all, a novelist and poet), its persuasive portrait of Boone and its firm sense of his place in American history."—Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World
"[A] revelatory biography. . . . What Morgan has done with his Boone is to make the man important as an entry point for today’s readers into what has become legend."—The Boston Globe
"The flesh-and-blood Boone who emerges is vivid and rare, a far cry from the enigmatic icon. This is historical biography at its best."—St. Louis Dispatch
"With Mr. Morgan as biographer, Boone definitely lucked out...Stunning." — The Dallas Morning News
