The heart of 18th-century America wasn’t just wild; it was a battlefield for survival, ambition, and dominance. In this epic story, two towering figures rise: Simon Kenton, the legendary frontiersman who rivaled Daniel Boone in strength and bravery, and Tecumseh, the brilliant Shawnee leader who came astonishingly close to uniting all tribes against the settlers’ expansion.
In this video, we begin narrating The Frontiersmen, the bestselling book by Allan W. Eckert that immerses us in the lives of these figures and the drama of the conquest of the Northwest Territory. This is just the first installment of a three-part series that belongs to the Winning of America saga, but we need your feedback. If this story captures your attention, let us know in the comments so we can release the next parts.
Get ready to experience the battle for the frontier like never before, from Tecumseh’s heroic resistance to Simon Kenton’s incredible feats, and the dangers of a wild territory offering both freedom and death.
My name is Sam, and this is Wild America.
