• Two biographies by American author James Fenimore Cooper are in this Kindle ebook: The Life of Kit Carson & The Life and Times of Col. Daniel Boone Hunter, Soldier and Pioneer
The Life of Kit Carson
Christopher Houston Carson, known as Kit Carson, (1809 - 1868) was a thrilling real-life American character -- an Indian fighter from what is now called Missouri. He became a trapper and explored the west to Spanish California, and north through the Rocky Mountains. He was also a guide for John C. Fremont and led 'the Pathfinder' through much of California, Oregon and the Great Basin area.
The Life and Times of Col. Daniel Boone Hunter, Soldier and Pioneer
Colonel Daniel Boone (1734-1820) was an American frontiersman and ideal of the American pioneer. He was brave, cool, self-reliant, a dead shot with his rifle, a consummate master of woodcraft, with sturdy frame, hopeful at all times, and never discouraged by disasters which caused many a weaker spirit to faint by the way. He founded one of the first American settlements west of the Appalachians and before the end of the 18th century, more than 200,000 Europeans had migrated to Kentucky/Virginia. Boone was also a militia officer during the Revolutionary War (1775–83).
