A nice map on page 16 notes the passageways to the early frontier--Zane's Trace, the Wilderness Road, and so on--marking the way to Ohio, Kentucky, and so on.-A whole chapter is devoted to Daniel Boone, whose exploits are well known. Nonetheless, his actions and explorations are the stuff of legend. The chapter on him lays out his many contributions--as well as his perpetual financial difficulties (he was always in trouble with his finances into his 80s).-There is also the story of the native Americans. They were often at war with the frontiersman, as they tried to defend their own lands. Tecumseh's war against Americans is told here. Also told is the story of Sequoyah, who created a written language for the Cherokee.-The story of George Rogers Clark and "The Hair Buyer," British Commander Henry Hamilton, is well told, too. Clark's exploits helped Americans take control of the West.-Other stories: doctors in the frontier; the story of the slippery General James Wilkinson; Andrew Jackson; and many more.".
