shawn0243's review against another edition
5.0
This book was excellent. If you haven't read Allan Eckert, you should. His work is historically accurate and highly entertaining.
This book deals with the little known court-martial of Daniel Boone in 1778 in Boonesborough, KY. Eckert weaves a gripping tale of the events leading up to the court-martial by means of the testimony of the witnesses during the trial. It is well written and well researched, as all of Eckert's books are. This is a great place to start with Eckert, because this is a shorter and easier read than most of his works.
