The Court-Martial of Daniel Boone by Allan W. Eckert is a historical novel that delves into a lesser-known chapter of the legendary frontiersman's life. The book explores the events leading up to and including the court-martial of Daniel Boone in 1778. Boone, who was a captain in the Virginia militia, is accused of treason after he surrenders Fort Boonesborough to British forces during the Revolutionary War. The novel portrays Boone's efforts to defend his actions and his reputation in the face of the military trial. Eckert's detailed research and storytelling bring to life the complexities of frontier politics, the harsh realities of colonial warfare, and the character of a man whose name became synonymous with the American spirit of adventure and exploration. The book examines themes of loyalty, honor, and the harsh judgments of history, ultimately revealing the outcome of Boone's trial and its impact on his legacy.
