Book Guide

Journey into the heart of Kentucky with Hannah, a young girl whose life intertwines with the legendary pioneer, Daniel Boone. As her father pledges allegiance to Boone, they find themselves in the throes of wilderness challenges at the fortress of Boonesborough. James Otis masterfully brings to life the everyday struggles and triumphs of pioneer life within this isolated bastion. While the rhythm of daily tasks paints a vivid picture of fort life, it’s the harrowing events of the siege of Boonesborough in 1778 that truly encapsulate the bravery and spirit of those who called it home. Walk alongside Hannah and experience the tales of courage, survival, and history in the making.

Plumfield and Paideia

Hannah of Kentucky
Reviewed by Sara Masarik
Written with excellent language and writing, this story is very alive and a joy to read. The reading level is comparable to something like a Childhood of Famous Americans book whereas the point of view is something like the We Were There books. While Hannah and her family are fictional, Otis tells us, through the character of Hannah, about Booneborough as if she was giving us a real first-person account.
