Title: Sketches of western adventure
First published: 1832
Description: “It is the most complete collection of captivities and early adventures ever published in one volume. Daniel Boone had been a resident of Maysville only a few years before Mr. McClung settled there. Simon Kenton, William Kennan, James Ward, Charles Ward, Major Hugh McGary, Thomas Marshall, and other heroes of the “Adventures,” were acquaintances or personal friends of the author, some of them as early as 1806; and he had every facility to verify, and was himself thoroughly assured of the accuracy of the sketches.”
