Daniel Boone (Ages 9-12)

* * * The Trailblazing Life of Daniel Boone
Author: Cheryl Harness
Reading level: Ages 9-12
Hardcover: 144 pages
Publisher: National Geographic Children's Books (September 11, 2007)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1426301456
ISBN-13: 978-1426301452

Book description: The Trailblazing Life of Daniel Boone and How Early Americans Took to the Road.

Review: I can't say enough of Cheryl Harness' books. She has a way with words and facts that draws readers into the history she brings to life. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as well as two others: Myles Standish and Narcissa Williams (about the Oregon Trail).

Buy it on Amazon.
