The book was printed in 1885 by Lee and Shepard, Publishers and copyrighted in 1884. William Henry Bogart (1810- 1888) was a New York lawyer, journalist, author, and historian.

The piece features numerous illustrations depicting Boone in his adventures. The book displays a dark blue and gilt gold cover with pressed black designs. The piece shows good condition overall, with some light wear on the cover of the spine. The book measures 7" tall by 5 1/4" wide and 1" thick.
