Featured in this lot is the First Edition of, "The Border Boy, A Life Of Daniel Boone", by W. H. Bogart, 1884, Lee and Shepard Publishers Boston. William Henry Bogart (1810-1888) was a New York lawyer, journalist, author, and historian. He is best known for "Daniel Boone and The Hunters of Kentucky", which he wrote to try and preserve the history of Boone rather than let it be lost to folk stories. This book focuses on Boone’s early life, exploration, and military career throughout his life. The book, much like “The Hunters of Kentucky”, tries to preserve the history of Boone rather than promote the exaggerated folk stories. The piece features numerous illustrations depicting Boone in his adventures. The green cloth bound cover is in good condition, the depiction of a military officer on horseback is stamped on the front cover, the title is stamped with a gilt background on the upper spine, a depiction of Boone is on the lower spine. Intact pages exhibit age tanning, minimal foxing. Measures 5"W x 7.5"L x 1.25"D
