All three books in this series carry lots of history. This author does a tremendous amount of research to give you the over-all picture of our country in the early 1800's.  Life without even the telegraph took months to correspond with family and then sometimes the mail didn't get through.  This final book in the trilogy must have been very difficult to write due to the British/American war down south that saw such a diverse conflict.  The way this author adds fiction to historical fact is amazing and makes the stories fascinating.  The lives of Samuel and Olivia take twists and turn which never get boring. I'm already looking for another book from this author.  I would love to read about the lives of the older woodsman and his friendship with a tall older lady that was described in the final chapter.  Loved it!
