About this book

Matthew Pearl reconstructs the taking of Jemima Boone and her companions near Boonesboro, placing the episode within disputes over Kentucky territory. His narrative history follows Daniel Boone's pursuit and examines the wider consequences of the encounter. Family experience and the competing interests of settlers and Native communities frame a story later absorbed into frontier legend.
