"The Boy Hunters of Kentucky" by Edward S. Ellis is an adventure novel that takes readers on a journey into Kentucky's wilderness. Written with young audiences in mind, the book is equal parts survival face and zany fiction as it describes a group of young boys who have made it a point to become formidable hunters in their own right. The harsh realities of nature, the need to survive, and encounters with indigenous people are just a few of the elements that make this a thrilling book to this day.
