Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"With Boone on the Frontier: Or, The Pioneer Boys of Old Kentucky" by Captain Ralph Bonehill is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale follows two young boys, Joe Winship and Harry Parsons, as they journey westward into the wilderness of Kentucky in the late 18th century, aiming to settle alongside the renowned pioneer Daniel Boone. The story unfolds amid the perilous and rugged backdrop of the American frontier, full of both natural and human dangers, as the boys navigate their new surroundings and the challenges they face against Native American tribes. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Joe and Harry, who are out hunting when they hear gunfire, sparking concerns about nearby Indians. This sets the tone for the impending dangers of the wilderness, where their adventure quickly spirals into a situation of peril when they become aware that they may be pursued. As they attempt to return to their pioneer camp, they overhear talk indicating an impending raid, driving them to action as they rush to warn their families. Through vivid descriptions of their surroundings and the boys’ interactions, the story hints at the broader themes of bravery, loyalty, and survival amidst the historical struggles of American settlement.
