Randy Johnson liked it! I'll give you an excerpt: "Morgan's engrossing tale follows the explorer to his death in Missouri in 1820 and all along the way, the reader revels in rich descriptions of virgin North America and the life of a man renowned as a 'white Indian' for his woods skills. Morgan's scholarship unearths quotes that take you to an alluring place in the past with 'soil as black as ink, as light as a bank of ashes' where 'a person passing through the woods might be tracked as easily as through snow.' "Reviewer Lee Smith said, 'Morgan's lyric mountain language is equal to the...grandeur of the land itself.' And it's equal as well to a life lived on that land, in a wild and spectacular setting we can only imagine -- even those of us who live and hike and camp in the 'wilds' around a town named 'Boone.'" - Randy Johnson Here's some news about the author's upcoming reading at ASU, too. http://www.highcountrypress.com/weekly/2007/08-09-07/writers_series.htm -----Original Message----- From: ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ncwataug-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of harveynorris@comcast.net Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 9:59 AM To: ncwataug@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NCWATAUG] Book about Daniel Boone/High Country magazine I went on line and could not find the review.What did he think of the book? -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Michelle Ligon" <mich9118@bellsouth.net> > > Just to let everyone know, there is a review by Randy Johnson of this > book about Daniel Boone, in the most recent issue of High Country > Magazine (a very well-done magazine, by the way).
