A fascinating reveal of what the pioneers endured in their trip into the “Wilderness”. Anyone who has an appreciation for Kentucky History and genealogy would enjoy reading the account of how the Wilderness Trail began and of the pioneers who braved the dangerous passage into the new world.
The hardships of these early pioneers are explored with a view of the difficulties of early pioneer life, the hazards that were around them, and comes away with a better appreciation of the efforts of these early settlers. The book also brings the Wilderness Road up into later years, including its strategic importance in the Civil War.
