Here is what people are saying about the The Frontiersmen: A Narrative
5 Star Rating  "Have read multiple times"2009-09-29
- Reviewed By User: A2RPJMGJ85WWOI
I first read this book as part of History class in 7th grade. I have read it several times since then and absolutely LOVE it every time. I even have a couple copies of it because I could not find my first copy when I wanted to give it another read. Well worth your time.

- Reviewed By User: A1MLQOTDMV161C
I loved the book and could hardly put it down. The author makes the history of that period come alive. From other research I've done I feel he was very accurate. If you love history you will love this book.
 
5 Star Rating  "Kentuckians Rule"2009-07-08
- Reviewed By User: A1HM9RGT3EC9DW
This book is amazing. To live in Kentucky during the revolutionary war you had to be unbelievably brave. Simon Kenton is the hero of this book and he is so facinating. Though the author tries to be super fair to the indians they still come off looking rather barbaric (as do some of the whites - that was the author's method to justify the indian's crimes against humanity). The Tecumseh stuff isn't that interesting and he was very short sighted and hypocritical. I loaned this book to a coworker and he read it in about a week - even though he isn't a huge Daniel Boone fan like I am. Read this book. I am now reading Wilderness Empire. It is no where near as good. I'm about a third of the way through. Hopefully it will get better once the fighting heats up.
 
5 Star Rating  "Eckert is the best!"2009-06-06
- Reviewed By User: A2EYRMIK3FIW9C
This is just one of the Allan Echert books that we have purchased. We presently own every book that Allan Eckert has written. As history lovers, we enjoy these books so much more than most histories, as Mr. Eckert knows his subject and his research is amazing. They are graphic in nature (meaning violence). Having grown up near Shawnee Park in Cincinnati and having ancestors who settled the SE part of Indiana - well, fought the Native Americans for this country - I am simply in awe of the scope and excitement that these books generate. Don't miss Allan Eckert!
 
4 Star Rating  "Solid Research and a Novelistic Style Bring History to Life"2009-04-17
- Reviewed By swmirsky
A vast narrative following the life and career of Daniel Boone's somewhat less well known junior contemporary on the early American frontier, Simon Kenton, and the parallel life and career of the Shawnee chieftain, Tecumseh, who tried to unite the disparate Indian tribes in a last ditch effort to stem the sweep of the American Republic over native American lands, this book is rich in research and in the drama of those times. Allan Eckert has used the technique of a novelist to bring the details of historic events to life as he follows the paths of Kenton and Tecumseh and the men and women around them, from Kenton's first foray over the Alleghenies into the wilderness in colonial times to the denouement in the War of 1812 when Tecumseh makes his last ditch effort to stop the white settlers. Recounted as a series of historical vignettes around the main characters and often taking on the trappings of fiction (because Eckert purports to take us inside the heads of these people and to report conversations and some events for which there is little or no record), this book is massive and sometimes daunting to read. Nevertheless, it succeeds in breathing life into the era and, if many of the characters seem somewhat thin and almost to blend into a certain sameness, the multifaceted personality of the illiterate Kenton and the finely drawn picture of the mysterious Tecumseh, makes it all worthwhile.

I found myself wondering at times just how many of the reported miraclulous prophecies ascribed to Tecumseh, from predicting an eclipse to the appearance of a comet to the occurrence of a massive earthquake, were genuine -- after all, despite all these supposed successes, his basic prediction, that he would lead a united Indian nation to drive out the whites, did not come true. But the detail about the Indian culture and relations between the various tribes and with the whites was eye-opening and all of it made me ashamed of this aspect of the American past. Of course, we could not be what we are today if we hadn't supplanted the native peoples, and pretty much every nation in existence today is where it is as a result of driving out earlier inhabitants in much the same fashion. Still, one can't help rooting for the Indian side when presented with a book like this, even if the Indians were pretty cruel in their own right and the Americans did ultimately grow into a better nation than what we started out as.

5 Star Rating  "Magnificent"2009-03-09
- Reviewed By User: AHAAFRCSGQ47R
I first read this "novel" many years ago, and loved it from the first page. History told in the form of a novel, it was so interesting that I'd actually stop the story to check the very numerous footnotes at the end of each chapter. Since I live in NW Ohio, this book captures much of the early history of my state and area. When we were kids, our parents would take us to Ft. Meigs, and until I read this novel, I never knew what all the ditches and mounds were for. That was many years before they re-created the fort.

I hiked the Anthony Wayne trail to Fallen Timbers as a boy scourt, and learned about this battle. I live an hour and a half from Kenton, Ohio, and when I cross the Ohio River on I-75, I enter Kenton county, KY.

Tecumseh, MI is not far north of Toledo, and to me, it was Tecumseh's story which made this book so spectacular. We hear about Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and Geronimo, but Tecumseh was far above any of them, the potential threat he posed to American settlement just astounded me, when I read about him in thi snotel. It was inevitable that all of the Indian tribes would eventually succomb to the limitless numbers and resources of the settlers, but had Tecumseh been successful, it might have changed many things for many years.

Simon Kenton puts Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett to shame. Kenton is in another league entirely, and yet as forgotten as is Tecumseh by those who write popular fiction and history.

These were not men of legend, but of reality. They were both tragic figures in the end, but blazed so brightly across the wilderness when they lived that I'd challenge any person to find more truly heroic figures in all of American history. They dominated not by political deals or swaying voters, but by individual prowess and values which were frankly almost beyond compare.

That they lived during the same era is only fitting.

This is their story, set against the background of the settlment of Ohio and Kentucky, and what a compelling story it is.

I wodner how many people live today because Simon Kenton risked his life for their ancestors, and helped them survive?

I wonder if any native American has ever existed who can remotely compare to Tecumseh?

Everyone should read this book. They owe it to themselves, and to Simon Kenton and Tecumseh.
