Answer 3

He did write a book! Well, it was just a journal of his journey across the western wilderness. It was published when he returned from his journey and made him a minor celebrity. Here it is if you're interested.

Just a preview sadly.

His papers have also been published, although it is not really a book.

Answer 4

He wrote no books.  He was not considered a particularly good writer or well educated.  His "rules of civility" is a copy exercise of a standard book for Children, written as a child.
