A Kidnapping In Kentucky 1776

A Kidnapping in Kentucky 1776 tells the riveting story of Jemima Boone as she faces the dangers of the Kentucky frontier. Wolves, bears, and snakes lurk in the wild, but nothing prepared her and her community for the kidnapping crisis they faced in July of 1776. Based on the true story of Daniel Boone’s daughter, the narrative highlights the value of freedom and the determination it takes to preserve it. With alternating perspectives from Jemima and John Gass, a young boy who was part of the rescue party, readers experience their fear, ingenuity, and courage as they navigate life on the colonial frontier. A historical adventure emphasizing resilience and family, both sides of the incident are sensitively and positively portrayed. 184 pages, softcover. Grades 4 – 8.
