Résumé
Concentrates on two absolutely crucial and dramatic years in Daniel Boone's life. It opens as Boone returns to the shabby fort at Boonesborough, after escaping from the Shawnee in order to save his white family and friends from attack by… the Indians and the Brits, ḁnd receives a decidedly mixed reception. His wife has assumed he's dead and taken most of their children east, and the others in the fort view him as a traitor, and regard his undeniable bond with the Shawnee with deep suspicion. Boone juggles his desire to protect the people of Boonesborough, in particular his daughter Jemima (the only one of his children who waited for him), and his love of the Shawnee people, especially his Indian father and wife. After a dramatic siege and successful defence of the fort against a force led by his adopted father, Blackfish, Daniel journeys to retrieve his family and finds a wife who still resents him for their oldest son's death. Rebecca takes over the telling of the story at this point, and up to the moment when--having lured them all once again into Kentucky, where he starts a new settlement--Boone realizes that he can't control the juggernaut of hate and conquest that will soon roll over the Shuswap. 2018.
