Daniel Boone: The Pioneer of Kentucky, published by John S. C. Abbott in 1872, is a popular biography of the frontiersman for general and younger readers. Abbott follows Boone from his Pennsylvania birth in 1734 and his youth on the North Carolina frontier through his hunting journeys across the Appalachians, the opening of the Wilderness Road, the founding of Boonesborough, the Indian wars of the Revolution, his capture by the Shawnee and adoption into their tribe, the siege of Boonesborough, the loss of his Kentucky lands to lawyers and speculators, and his last years in Missouri. Abbott writes with admiration and with the conventions of his period about the Indians Boone fought and lived among.
