Items related to Simon Kenton: Kentucky Scout
Adventure story, biography, western history -- Simon Kenton, Kentucky Scout fits all these descriptions. While still in his teens, Kenton explored Kentucky and became an expert woodsman. His daring rescue of Daniel Boone during an Indian attack on Boonsborough and his assistance to George Rogers Clark are prime examples of his skill and heroism.
No frontiersman showed more bravery than Kenton. When he was captured following a raid on the Indians' horses at Chillicothe, he exhibited almost superhuman endurance as he ran the dreaded gauntlet, and withstood numerous other tortures. He eventually escaped and returned to Kentucky.
In the mid-1780's, Kenton brought his family from Virginia and settled them in present day Mason County. By then, the primary Indian threat was over. However Kenton's role as Indian scout during the previous decade had been so important that his memory remains forever a part of Kentucky's history. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher:
This biography of Simon Kenton is an example of Clark's versatility and his desire to reach a variety of audiences. Clark wrote this work for a junior high and high school audience. The biography's sentence structure and vocabulary will appeal to a general audience as well. The brisk pace of the story, the vivid, lyrical descriptions of the early Kentucky landscape, interwoven with explanations of frontier culture and history, can inform, educate, and entertain anyone.
