Description of  Finding Daniel Boone: His Last Days in Missouri and The Strange Fate of His Remains (American Legends)

Fully re-creating Daniel's lost world, noted historian and author Ted Franklin Belue journeys along the famous Pathfinder's last trail, from Missouri and back to Kentucky, meeting a host of colorful characters.
