Characters like Daniel Boone, Davy Crocket, "Buffalo Bill" Cody, and Jim Bridger have fascinated people for generations. But in many cases, the stories we know of famous frontiersmen are no truer than the tale of Paul Bunyan. For instance, David Crockett was a congressman and Daniel Boone a Virginia legislator. This book separates fact from fiction, showing the legends and the evidence side-by-side to give readers the real story of the old West.
