About this book
A snapped branch interrupts two young scouts as they guard the rear of Daniel Boone's party in September 1773. James Boone and Peleg Barnes are crossing Powell's Mountain with families bound from North Carolina toward a new settlement. Their watchfulness gives this historical adventure its opening tension: even a small sound in the forest demands attention.
Everett T. Tomlinson presents Boone through a story built around frontier travel, scouting and the effort to establish homes. Later scenes show a growing settlement taking shelter in a fort, while Peleg carries Boone's warning to a family living farther out. The preface explains the author's use of historical accounts and his freedom to combine border adventures. Written for younger readers, the book offers a view of how courage, leadership and national history were presented through stories of the American frontier.
