520 The frontiersmen were a remarkable breed of men. They were
often rough and illiterate, sometimes brutal and vicious,
often seeking an escape in the wilderness of mid-America
from crimes committed back east. In the beautiful but
deadly country which would one day come to be known as
West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois, more often than not they left their bones to
bleach beside forest paths or on the banks of the Ohio
River, victims of Indians who claimed the vast virgin
territory and strove to turn back the growing tide of
whites. These frontiersmen are the subjects of Allan W.
Eckert's dramatic history. Against the background of such
names as George Rogers Clark, Daniel Boone, Arthur St.
Clair, Anthony Wayne, Simon Girty, and William Henry
Harrison, Eckert has re-created the life of one of
America's most outstanding heroes, Simon Kenton. Kenton's
role in opening the Northwest Territory to settlement more
than rivaled that of his friend Daniel Boone. By his
eighteenth birthday, Kenton had already won frontier
renown as woodsman, fighter, and scout. His incredible
physical strength and endurance, his great dignity and
innate kindness made him the ideal prototype of the
frontier hero. Yet there is another story to The
Frontiersmen. It is equally the story of one of history's
greatest leaders. Tecumseh, the brilliant Shawnee chief,
welded together by the sheer force of his intellect and
charisma an incredible Indian confederacy that came
desperately close to breaking the thrust of the white
man's westward expansion. Like Kenton, Tecumseh was the
paragon of his people's virtues, and the story of his life,
in Eckert's hands, reveals most profoundly the grandeur of
the American Indian. No less important, The Frontiersmen
is the story of wilderness America itself, its penetration
and settlement, and it is Eckert's particular grace to be
able to evoke life and meaning from the raw facts of this
story. In The Frontiersmen, not only do we care about our
long-forgotten fathers-we live again with them.
