About this title: Against the background of such names as George Rogers Clark, Daniel Boone. Arthur St. Clair, Anthony Wayne, Simon Girty, and William Henry Harrison, Eckert has recreated the life of one of America's most outstanding heroes, Simon Kenton. Kenton's role in opening the Northwest Territory to settlement more than rivaled that of his friend Daniel Boone.

Description: VERY GOOD SOFTCOVER. Size: large softcover; The frontiersmen were a remarkable breed of men. They were often rough and illiterate, sometimes brutal and vicious, often seeking an escape in the wilderness of mid-America from crimes committed back east. In the beautiful but deadly country which would one day come to be known as West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, more often than not they left their bones to bleach beside forest paths or on the banks of the Ohio River, ... read more

"This book was recommended by a friend at work. I think the book was more enjoyable to be because I have lived in southern and central Ohio all of my life and I can relate to where all of the story takes place. Even though some of the book may be exaggerated because of lack of written history or the authors choice to bring a point across, it was full of facts that helped explain how the northwest territory came to be and the hardships the settlers had to go through. I had a hard time putting the book down I would recommend this to anyone who likes history or even a good story."
"This series about the "Winning of America" from the native Indians is very close to being non-fiction. It is my favorite series about American history. I have the complete hardbound set all autographed by Mr. Eckert. Again, these should be required reading. He does a good job of representing both sides of this tragic struggle."
