Hawks's portrait of Boone traces the arc of eighteenth century america's expansion, capturing the myth and the man behind the rifle, while inviting readers into the moral and practical questions of exploration, settlement, and the costs of westward progress. It sits comfortably beside classic frontier literature, offering a clear pathway for history classroom reading and for lovers of rifleman lore seeking depth beyond legend.Its literary and historical significance lies in its early, earnest attempt to render Boone not as myth alone but as a real figure shaping the american westward expansion. For casual readers, it delivers brisk narrative energy and vivid scenes; for collectors and scholars, it stands as a distinguished piece of early american frontier classics, suitable for comparison with other era storytellers like James Fenimore Cooper. This is more than a reprint: it is a restored cultural treasure, a bridge to the past that speaks to the present.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. For complete edition buyers, this is a lasting keepsake and a meaningful contribution to the history bookshelf. - Häftad, Engelska, 2021

Tillfälligt slut
On 31 March 1854, Commodore Matthew Perry signed the Treaty of Kanagawa on behalf of the United States government. This moment signalled the end of the ruling Shogunate's policy of isolationism, which had been in place since the early sixteenth century. Although foreign nations - the Portuguese, the British and the Spanish - had once traded there, the perceived threat from the spread of Christianity had led to Japan's borders being closed, a policy rigorously enforced by the Shogunate, who signified their resolve through systematic expulsion, detention and execution. Perry's success, however, contrived to open up what had once been 'the curiosity of Christendom' to the nations of the world.Commodore Perry and the Opening of Japan is the official account of this historic expedition. Written in a fluent and engaging style, this first-hand report details the colourful minutiae of the voyage to 'terra incognita', while situating its enterprises and motivations within a wider social and cultural context.
