5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for anyone, February 1, 2001
This review is from: The Awakening Land: The Trees, The Fields, & The Town (Hardcover)
I saw this as a movie about 3 years ago. Beats me why it isn't played more often and the book is out of print. It was truly something for everyone. The history was spellbinding and the plot holds you better than Saving Private Ryan. The story address all aspects of what life must have been like to be the first to break ground in the frontier. It's all here, how they choose their homestead, hunting and hunger, domestics accidents and trials, the blooming politics, lonliness, fear,death, finding love and starting the next generation. I wish I could find the video. If you can get your hands on this one there are many of us that will be green with envy.

This may be the best book I have ever read!, January 30, 2004
This review is from: The Awakening Land: The Trees, The Fields, & The Town (Hardcover)
This book is so amazing! I completly agree with the other people on this site who have reviewed this book. I see that I am very fortunate that my mother owns this book, since I see from other's comments how hard it is to come by. I also think that it should be put back into print. People now are missing out on a wonderful book that takes you back to a time when parts of this country were completly wild and what this family experienced as they struggled to make it a place that they could live and grow in. The family is so enthralling, you get totally caught up in their lives and it is definetly a book that you hate to come to the end of. I have loaned it to 4 other people who love it as much as I do. It is a gem of a book. Sincerely, Wendy Scopa
