"The Life and Times of Col. Daniel Boone, Hunter, Soldier, and Pioneer" by Edward S. Ellis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life of Daniel Boone, an iconic figure of American exploration and settlement, focusing on his experiences as a hunter and pioneer in the early years of American expansion into what is now Kentucky. The opening of the book sets the stage for Boone's life, detailing his early years in Pennsylvania, where his natural affinity for hunting and survival in the wilderness began to take shape. It introduces Boone as a self-reliant young man, emphasizing his early adventures, including a notable incident where his family frantically searches for him after he spends a night alone in the wilderness, ultimately revealing his resourcefulness. The narrative suggests that Boone's upbringing in a pioneer community, along with the stark realities of frontier life, would shape him into the legendary figure he would become as he ventured westward into the "Dark and Bloody Ground" of Kentucky, where his skills and character would be tested against both nature and Indigenous peoples.
