Review
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. New Concise informationBy W. CawoodI am very interested in the exploration of the middle ground frontier during the 18th century.This book contained much information about the people and the land of Kentucky and the central Appalachian frontier.I enjoyed the narratives about the frontiersmen and the everyday life of the people.I was; however; often confused by the timeline. I would get lost in the frequently changing references to time.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
