The Instant New York Times Besteller National Bestseller [The] authors finest work to date. --Wall Street JournalThe explosive true saga of the legendary figure Daniel Boone and the bloody struggle for Americas frontier by two bestselling authors at the height of their writing power--Bob Drury and Tom Clavin. It is the mid-eighteenth century, and in the thirteen colonies founded by Great Britain, anxious colonists desperate to conquer and settle North Americas First Frontier beyond the Appalachian Mountains commence a series of bloody battles. These violent conflicts are waged against the Native American tribes whose lands they covet, the French, and the mother country itself in an American Revolution destined to reverberate around the world. This is the setting of Blood and Treasure, and the guide to this epic narrative is Americas first and arguably greatest pathfinder, Daniel Boone--not the coonskin cap-wearing caricature of popular culture but the flesh-and-blood frontiersman and Revolutionary War hero whose explorations into the forested frontier beyond the great mountains would become the stuff of legend. Now, thanks to painstaking research by two award-winning authors, the story of the brutal birth of the United States is told through the eyes of both the ordinary and larger-than-life men and women who witnessed it. This fast-paced and fiery narrative, fueled by contemporary diaries and journals, newspaper reports, and eyewitness accounts, is a stirring chronicle of the conflict over Americas First Frontier that places the reader at the center of this remarkable epoch and its gripping tales of courage and sacrifice.BOB DRURY and TOM CLAVIN are the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of, most recently, Blood and Treasure, as well as The Heart of Everything That Is; Lucky 666; Halseys Typhoon; Last Men Out; Valley Forge; and The Last Stand of Fox Company, which won the Marine Corps Heritage Foundations General Wallace M.
