If you are willing to adjust to beautiful language which are not short declarative sentences, you will enjoy these stories of a period of our country's early history. I have thoroughly enjoyed the chronicles of this early pioneer's life from the early colonies through movement west. Much insight into the times as they were written 200 yrs ago. And also the cultural and environmental conflicts which resonate today.Only suggestion is to read them chronologically in the protagonist's life and not in the order they were written. The last book in the collection is actually the first to be read but check out the introductory material for the correct sequence. Didn't spoil it for me that I went straight through Vol 1 and then 2.
