I rather enjoyed reading the newest addition to the Daniel Boone canon, Blood and Treasure.
I read everything on Daniel Boone and this is the most recent (2021) addition to the bookshelves about the man and his time period.
Revisiting information, stories, people and places that I’m familiar with is always part of my continuing education.
I always like digging deeper into other frontier scouts like Simon Kenton, Mike Stoner, etc but also seeing familiar First Nations leaders like Cornstalk, Dragging Canoe, Black Hoof, and more.
All of these people are historical icons that show us the power, strength, and perseverance possible in humanity.
We fall way way too short in modernity.
This one quote, unfortunately not foot noted, made me stop. Not just because of the mention of facial hair, but specifically it’s supposed widespread use on the East Coast. Just wondered if anybody else had ever read this anywhere or can imagine what source the author was using.
