I was a big Fess Parker fan growing up. Watching the Daniel Boone series as a kid inspired me to want a real flintlock rifle. Right now I have three of them.
If you are really interested in Danial Boone era American history I strongly recommend a book called “The Frontiersman” by Alan Eckert. It is a biography of Simon Kenton a contemporary of Boone who actually ran with him a bit. (save his life twice, in fact) He was the quintessential frontiersman and his life was literally a thrill a minute. The book reads like an Indiana Jones movie, non stop adventure and every line in the book is true. The book is labeled historical fiction BUT, Eckert takes everything in the book from historical sources, even the dialogue. (from diaries and such). Non-fiction narrative would be a better description as it read like a novel. The portrait of noble Tecumseh the Indiana Chief and his insane medicine man brother is haunting. Kenton and Tecumseh had a two decade battle going on. Trust me, if you like frontier history you will love this book and probably want to explore the series it is a part of.
