Description
The Trees is a novel by Conrad Richter that tells the story of an American family living in the wilderness at the end of the eighteenth century. Set in the land west of the Alleghenies and north of the Ohio River, the book follows the fortunes of Sayward Luckett and her family as they navigate the transition from a life in the forest to one on the land.
The story is centered around Sayward, the eldest daughter of Worth and Jary Luckett, who grows up raised in the forest but begins to realize that the way of the hunter must cede to the way of the tiller of soil. As the family's circumstances change, Sayward must come to terms with her place in the world and the future of their land.
Published in 1940, The Trees is the first book in Richter's acclaimed Awakening Land trilogy, which explores the transformation of a middle-American landscape from wilderness to farmland to modern industrial civilization. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of family, identity, and the changing world around them.
