X-WR-CALDESC:The Trees is a moving novel of the beginning of the American t
 rek to the west. Toward the close of the eighteenth century\, the land wes
 t of the Alleghenies and north of the Ohio River was an unbroken sea of tr
 ees. Beneath them the forest trails were dark\, silent\, and lonely\, brig
 htened only by a few lost beams of sunlight. Here\, in the first novel of 
 Conrad Richter’s Awakening Land trilogy\, the Lucketts\, a wild\, woods-fa
 ring family\, lived their roaming life\, pushing ever westward as the fron
 tier advanced and as new settlements threatened their isolation. This nove
 l gives an excellent feel for America's lost woods culture\, which was cre
 ated when most of the eastern midwest was a vast hardwood forest---virtual
 ly a jungle. The Trees conveys settler life\, including conflicts with Nat
 ive Americans\, illness\, hunting\, family dynamics\, and marriage.
