This is just wonderful history told in a manner that captures the reader. I read the book when it first came out years ago.and loved it I wrote a review then. I had occasion recently to recommend a hood history book and I picked this one. In doing so I decided to re read it and just finished. It was even better the second time. The real Simon Kenton was a real larger than life person including Tecumseh, William Henry Harrison and George Rogers Clark. I only wish this book, and the others, Wilderness War, wilderness Empire, Dark and Bloody Ground,and Tecumseh would be made into a feature film. Eckert has done the country an invaluable service by recording our early history from the French and Indian War to end of the Shawnee country . Since the film seems unlikely everyone should read each Eckert book.We both laugh and cry at tv reporters that ask our young college students basic history questions they are unable to answer. To those teachers that have the privilege of teaching young people please assign Eckert's books for them to read among other things.The research cited in the Frontiersman is so extensive. I reading it I learned Andrew Jackson, great hero and President might have been ineligible to serve as President. Reliable witnesses of his family said that his mother and father immigrated from Ireland and Andrew was born on the ship enroute to America.
This book is particularly interesting to me since I live in the part of the country where is takes place. For no particular reason I put off reading this book for perhaps 40 years. Now that I have, I am sorry I waited so long. Others have described the content and story that is written so I see no need for that.The writing is excellent for a non scholar, one who simply wants a great story of the settling of what was the western frontier during and after the Revolutionary war.Although the characters are numerous (nearly all actual people) the story centers around Simon Kenton. He is buried no more than 30 miles from where I live and I've seen his grave and monument several times. Now I have a much better appreciation for Simon Kenton. The major battle led by George Rogers Clark is a stones throw from me and I've been there many times - again with a passing glance at his statue and the many plaques describing the battle that took place. And again I will never see them the same way again.Every summer in Chillicothe there is an outdoor drama "Tecumseh" started about 1970. I've put off seeing that too. I'm getting tickets for that ASAP.The only complaint I have is technical.The digital copy has more character mistakes than any Kindle book I've ever read. Sometimes very hard to read.
This is an awesome book for anyone who has an interest in the history of the Trans Allegheny Frontier. I saw some similarities with some stories my grandfather told me when I was little, The real treasure is his references in the back. While in college I began doing research on my own family history using the author references to The Draper Manuscripts (correspondence with actual people who knew Simon Kenton) and located at University of Wisconsin, Madison. Their I found in Kenton's own words his involvement with my family going back to 1760's and latter on. Also found correspondence between my family and Dr. Draper about Kenton. So I guess no book has ever affected me on personal level like this one.Why a four rating then? Well he does over use his literary license at times and makes some assumptions about some of the characters in the book and too much glorification of his main characters.
I've read this book four times and have now sent a copy to my nephew. I first got interested seeing Dad reading it in the 70's. This book is the first in a multi-story series bound to hook you in for more. Particularly on point and delicious, if you live in the mid-west and central states. (However the westward expansion from the East Coast is pretty well fleshed out in beautiful factual fiction) If you like pioneers and indians, forts and frontier wars, you've reached your destination w Eckerts books.
This true story is astonishing, and is rich with detail and side characters. Eckert dug deep in his research for all his books, and we are the beneficiaries.But what most impressed me about this book is the format that Eckert devised to tell the story. He writes history as if it were a novel, except he sticks to the truth. The characters talk to each other, instead of a narrator just telling us things like - "Bulter and Johnson agreed to meet again by the river the following summer". So many very knowledgeable historians write in such a dull manner that I appreciate how rare and wonderful Eckert's format is.(However, Eckert does use the narrator technique heavily in his book *That Dark and Bloody River*, which is a major disappointment to me.).This is one of a very few books I would recommend to anyone. Another might be *Endurance* by Alfred Lansing; and another might be *Shadow Divers* by Robert Kurson.
