| Summary | "Daniel Boone, Backwoodsman" by C. H. Forbes-Lindsay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life of Daniel Boone, a legendary frontiersman and pioneer who played a significant role in the exploration and settlement of Kentucky during America's westward expansion in the 18th century. The work explores the character and life of the early backwoodsmen, highlighting their contributions to the American frontier while also giving insights into Boone's adventurous spirit and leadership among these early settlers. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the context of Boone's life and the environment of the backwoods during colonial times. Boone’s origins in a frontier settlement are described, detailing his upbringing and keen interest in exploration and hunting. The opening establishes the backwoodsman as a figure who embodied the ruggedness of frontier life, presenting the challenges faced by settlers — from conflicts with Native Americans to the necessities of survival in an untamed wilderness. Boone's early family life, marriage, and determination to settle in Kentucky set the stage for his legendary journey, emphasizing his role as both hunter and pioneer.
