Boone was also a skilled hunter and frontiersman who became a legend in his own time.Benjamin Lincoln, on the other hand, was a military officer who served during the American Revolutionary War. He played a crucial role in the Siege of Charleston in 1780 and was later appointed as the Secretary of War under the Articles of Confederation. Lincoln was also involved in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the war between the United States and Great Britain.In this book, Peck provides a detailed account of the lives of these two men, from their early years to their contributions to American history.
