Daniel Boone, Backwoodsman, by C. H. Forbes-Lindsay (1870 - )

This project is now complete! All audio files can be found on our catalog page: https://librivox.org/daniel-boone-backwoodsman-by-c-h-forbes-lindsay/
Daniel Boone is celebrated in history and legend as one of the foremost pioneers who opened up the wilderness of Kentucky. Famed for his skills as a hunter, he was once captured and adopted by the Shawnee tribe from which he ultimately escaped. He was active in the militia and fought in several battles of the American Revolution. In later life he became a politician, being elected to Virginia state assembly, and land speculator, eventually settling in Missouri.

This biography is written for youth in a lively and engaging style dramatizing many of the events of Boone’s adventures, from his youth to his final days.
(Summary by Larry Wilson)

Larry,

Thank you for selecting another of my Project Gutenberg submissions, one of the few projects I submitted as an independent provider (i.e. without the assistance of Distributed Proofreaders).

As a show of gratitude and my appreciation for your selection of the project for audio, I'd like to read Chapter 1, once an MC is aboard, the MW is set up, and if it's OK with you.

Thank you,
Don (DACSoft)

Thank you, Tricia, for setting this up! Much appreciated.

I've put you in for Chapter 1, Don. I'm in for the last chapter unless you want it. :wink:
I wanted to give notice on this one, but ran out of time, so glad you caught it.

I think there are ten books in this Trailblazer series that I got from you list, so we'll see how many we can do. :)
I actually had the Lewis and Clark book already on my list, and will do it next.

I'm looking at the other series and may try to do some of them. Maybe Bert Wilson series.

Anyway, thank you for coming on board!

Hello Silverquill and TriciaG.

I am a brand new volunteer reader.

Here is my 1 minute test:


https://librivox.org/uploads/triciag/test_anthonym.mp3


I left the sound raw but I can get a -60 noise floor and a pass mark with the checker digitally. I'm very new, but I'm trying to do my homework and I have a bunch of moving blankets on order (1-2 weeks). Hopefully when I hang them up it'll make it easier to capture cleaner sound.

I'd like to do a chapter with you, if that's ok. Maybe more, but small bites for the newbie - wouldn't want to choke on my beginner's enthusiasm.

Hi Larry,

Not looking to do the last chapter, so go for it. :D

Finishing up Chapter 1, and should be uploading it in the next few days.
