Title: The Frontiersmen
Product review: I've become addicted to early American history and particularily Allan Eckert's narratives; The Frontiersmen is one of one of his best. The 500 plus pages fly by as you become engrossed in the struggles of our forefathers to establish safe homes on the frontier. However you cannot help but sympathize with the Indians as they see their ancestoral lands stripped away as far away governments vied for ever more land. Eckard's superb use of chapter notes adds clarification for geography buffs who try to place the sites of events and battles.A great read at a great price but I did find a slight fault with the quality of this publication created by Jesse Stuart Foundation. Strangely the front and back covers began to curl up and stay that way. I don't know if its just my bad luck, a characteristic of large soft cover books or a poor choice of materials in printing process.
