What is the author's style in The Frontiersmen: A Narrative by Allan W. Eckert?

The book is written in a straight-forward style that is easy to read and understand. For the most part, a reader with an adequate vocabulary will find the book enjoyable. There are long passages of historical events and details of places that some readers may find tedious and distracting. The reader who expects to find only details of the lives of Simon Kenton, Daniel Boone, Tecumseh, and others will be disappointed. A great deal of the book is devoted to the historical events of the Americans as they struggle for independence from England and they fight the War of 1812, though it is all written with an eye toward the impact of these events on the frontier regions.
