Telling American's Story

America’s Story Surrounds Your Family Tree

Daniel Boone Footsteps, Publisher, Booth 106

 “I can’t take you back in time, but I can take you to the places where history happened,” says award-winning author and storyteller Randell Jones. His non-fiction, history books tell America’s story by putting the narrative on the landscape. His exciting and factual accounts anchor the histories to places where America’s story unfolds, where previous generations have erected markers and monuments. “This is where we meet our ancestors,” he says, “standing where they stood, where they farmed, where they fought. We see the landscape across which they passed. We hear the same streams tumbling toward the oceans. We feel the same wind against our faces. Following in their footsteps, we know a good bit more about our past.” 

Randell’s books include:

In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone,
In the Footsteps of Davy Crockett,
Before They Were Heroes at Kings Mountain,
Scoundrels, Rogues, and Heroes of the Old North State,
A Guide to the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail,
and,
Trailing Daniel Boone—DAR marking Daniel Boone’s Trail, 1912-1915.
The Daniel Boone Wagon Train—a journey through ‘the Sixties,’” is a treat for any Baby Boomer.

His books have received awards from the Kentucky Historical Society and the North Carolina Society of Historians. In May, he receives from the Daughters of the American Revolution the national D.A.R. History Award medal for his body of work.
