The first volume in the Tennessee Frontier Trilogy, THE OVERMOUNTAIN MEN is an adventure set in the period from 1757 to 1777. It is an unforgettable portrait of the pioneering spirit of the men and women who moved west as homesteaders and traders, and a moving depiction of the native tribes who fought to keep their lands and protect their way of life. The result is a saga of the mountain wilderness punctuated with the courage, sweat, and blood of settlers and a dispossessed people.
