Ebook About The frontiersmen were a remarkable breed of men. They were often rough and illiterate, sometimes brutal and vicious, often seeking an escape in the wilderness of mid-America from crimes committed back east. In the beautiful but deadly country which would one day come to be known as West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, more often than not they left their bones to bleach beside forest paths or on the banks of the Ohio River, victims of Indians who claimed the vast virgin territory and strove to turn back the growing tide of whites. These frontiersmen are the subjects of Allan Eckert's dramatic history.Against the background of such names as George Rogers Clark, Daniel Boone, Arthur St. Clair, Anthony Wayne, Simon Girty and William Henry Harrison, Eckert has recreated the life of one of America's most outstanding heroes, Simon Kenton. Kenton's role in opening the Northwest Territory to settlement more than rivaled that of his friend Daniel Boone. By his eighteenth birthday, Kenton had already won frontier renown as woodsman, fighter and scout. His incredible physical strength and endurance, his great dignity and innate kindness made him the ideal prototype of the frontier hero. Yet there is another story to The Frontiersmen. It is equally the story of one of history's greatest leaders, whose misfortune was to be born to a doomed cause and a dying race. Tecumseh, the brilliant Shawnee chief, welded together by the sheer force of his intellect and charisma an incredible Indian confederacy that came desperately close to breaking the thrust of the white man's westward expansion. Like Kenton, Tecumseh was the paragon of his people's virtues, and the story of his life, in Allan Eckert's hands, reveals most profoundly the grandeur and the tragedy of the American Indian.No less importantly, The Frontiersmen is the story of wilderness America itself, its penetration and settlement, and it is Eckert's particular grace to be able to evoke life and meaning from the raw facts of this story. In The Frontiersmen not only do we care about our long-forgotten fathers, we live again with them.Researched for seven years, The Frontiersmen is the first in Mr. Eckert's "The Winning of America" series.Book The Frontiersmen: A Narrative (The Winning of America Book 1) Review :
This book is particularly interesting to me since I live in the part of the country where is takes place. For no particular reason I put off reading this book for perhaps 40 years. Now that I have, I am sorry I waited so long. Others have described the content and story that is written so I see no need for that.The writing is excellent for a non scholar, one who simply wants a great story of the settling of what was the western frontier during and after the Revolutionary war.Although the characters are numerous (nearly all actual people) the story centers around Simon Kenton. He is buried no more than 30 miles from where I live and I've seen his grave and monument several times. Now I have a much better appreciation for Simon Kenton. The major battle led by George Rogers Clark is a stones throw from me and I've been there many times - again with a passing glance at his statue and the many plaques describing the battle that took place. And again I will never see them the same way again.Every summer in Chillicothe there is an outdoor drama "Tecumseh" started about 1970. I've put off seeing that too. I'm getting tickets for that ASAP.The only complaint I have is technical.The digital copy has more character mistakes than any Kindle book I've ever read. Sometimes very hard to read. This is just wonderful history told in a manner that captures the reader. I read the book when it first came out years ago.and loved it I wrote a review then. I had occasion recently to recommend a hood history book and I picked this one. In doing so I decided to re read it and just finished. It was even better the second time. The real Simon Kenton was a real larger than life person including Tecumseh, William Henry Harrison and George Rogers Clark. I only wish this book, and the others, Wilderness War, wilderness Empire, Dark and Bloody Ground,and Tecumseh would be made into a feature film. Eckert has done the country an invaluable service by recording our early history from the French and Indian War to end of the Shawnee country . Since the film seems unlikely everyone should read each Eckert book.We both laugh and cry at tv reporters that ask our young college students basic history questions they are unable to answer. To those teachers that have the privilege of teaching young people please assign Eckert's books for them to read among other things.The research cited in the Frontiersman is so extensive. I reading it I learned Andrew Jackson, great hero and President might have been ineligible to serve as President. Reliable witnesses of his family said that his mother and father immigrated from Ireland and Andrew was born on the ship enroute to America.
