Pages : 152
Book Description
"'If any word in the American story connotes enchantment, it is undoubtedly 'West,' and of the myriad elements of thsi magic, John Filson's 'Discovery, Settlement, and present State of Kentucke' is among the most potent. For this earliest history of Kentucky, containing the state's first published map, also provided the nation with the gigantic folk figure of Daniel Boone, whose exploits transcend time and distance. The form of Filson's Kentucky essay follows the usual eighteenth-century catalogue of topics: boundaries, rivers, soil and climate, produce, animals, inhabitants, 'curiosities,' land acquisition, and trade prospects... To this miscellany he added his account of Boone's western adventures, a narrative in autobiographical form that, despite the author's over-written style, conveys both the rugged simplicity of the subject's personality and the ceaseless violence of the early Kentucky frontier."--Pg. [4] of cover.
