The writer did seven years of intense research before producing the book. It is the quintessential writing about the settling of the new frontier, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana. Meticulously researched and wonderfully written.

I'm about half way through this book, but just can't put it down. It is a fabulous read that is rich with history. No wonder there is a County and High School named after Simon Kenton. He was a man amongst men.
