Cherokee Frontier

This is an interesting story of the frontier life in Tennessee. The protagonist Joshua Colter finds himself alone in the wilderness. Here Judd weaves his story of these brave long hunters in the Cherokee land of Tennessee. You will find that Judd makes you feel that you are there with Joshua. It is a good read. By Ruth Thompson author of "The Bluegrass Dream" and "Natchez Above The River"

Suprisingly Good Read

Saw this book on a shelf and was interested by the subject. But once I got started reading I couldnt quit. I felt as if I were on the Tennesse frontier with Joshua Colter. I am definetly buying the other two books in the triology. I would strongly recommed this book to anyone interested in American history, especially the colonial period.

Best book on Tennessee history I've read

This novel is so entertaining!! Cameron Judd uses a great cast of fictional characters to convey the history of the settling of Tennessee as well as backing it up with factual characters, places, and events. I recommend this book to anyone who hated history as a child, but has become an avid reader in old age, like me!
