In 1778 Daniel Boone was charged with several counts of treason, involving his alleged collusion with the Shawnee Indians and the British. Eckert … has written a fascinating historical novel based on this trial…. The author has a keen sense of time and place, and has thoroughly researched what little is known about the trial.
