In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone

"Randell Jones has contributed a singularly unique work to frontier Americana. His text is very readable and his research sound; and, his portrayal of Boone is an accurate one. Along the way he grapples with a few myths of Boone legend and lore. Most important, Jones's maps and directions will put today's pathfinders squarely on those trails blazed by America's first frontier hero, Daniel Boone."

"A complete and totally accurate biography to define the life of Daniel Boone still remains a challenge for historians; however, Randell Jones with In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone has gotten as close as any. The unique approach of taking the reader to many of the places where Daniel Boone walked, hunted, and performed services for his country adds an important new dimension to make Randell's account a most enjoyable and interesting way for better understanding one of America's leading legendary figures."

"This is a fun way of introducing Boone's life for the historian as well as the vacationer. Your concept of 'footsteps' of the famous is an excellent combination of teaching and enjoying our country's rich heritage."

"The book and DVD arrived in yesterday's mail. We watched the DVD last night and made notes in the text of the book of the GPS locations. It is a very fine work and we really appreciate your writing it. I've already added to my knowledge of Daniel Boone's life and the book will make a fine reference for our trips to those areas of the country."
