Mr. Morton, who presents this "Story of Daniel Boone," comes amply furnished to the task. He is a historian by instinct and training. His previous historical work has dealt largely with the generation of Daniel Boone, with the conditions that helped to shape Boone's fortunes, and with some of the individuals that touched his life in decisive moments; and this work is marked by a command of the material and an easy style that imposes no unnecessary burden on the reader, traits which the following pages will make clear.

J. Gray McAllister, D. D.,

Formerly President of Hampden-Sidney College, and also pastor of Hot Springs Presbyterian Church.
