Table of contents: title: Famous frontiersman Daniel Boone wouldn't have intended his postcards home from the wilderness to teach young and old about American history and life in pioneer Kentucky, but they do - that is if he had written them.; title: Boone didn't, but retired educator Betty Southard Stokes has written them for him. With ''Postcards from Daniel', 1755 - 1784: Daniel writes from the Kentucky Wilderness, Betty has written yet another history lesson with a Kentucky focus for young readers (and adults too!). Writing as Daniel himself were sending postcards to family, the reader learns about Boone's life, wilderness adventures, relationships with area American Indians, and settling pioneer Kentucky.; title: Combined with Emry Quinn's colorful illustrations depicting scenes from Boone's life, "Postcards from Daniel" is a wonderful way to teach history in an engaging and easy manner.; title: Not to be forgotten are Betty's two earlier postcard books; "Postcards from George" and "Postcards from William" chronicle the adventures of the famous Clark brothers in frontier Kentucky. They too, are educational and engaging and an excellent way to make learning history easy and enjoyable. All three titles should be in every social studies classroom.; title: Jim Holmberg, Filson Historical Society
