Great story!

I really like this series, makes me wish I had lived back then.
If you like stories of the pioneer days this is what I would suggest to you.

why the swear words

the story was a wonderful story the reader did a fabulous job I just don't understand why writers feel they have to include swear words which make the story inappropriate for a younger audience and distasteful to any Christian

Lure of the Wild

Great book really enjoyed it, easy to listen to and is great to see the transformation of Nat as he learns from Shakespeare about lift in the Rockys. Liking the whole series so far.
