Review:

This book, with its vivid description and engaging writing style, transported me back to New England in the 1800s. There, I followed the story of a simple farm boy who grew into a courageous and noble man. This book is good and beautiful literature at its best and is not to be missed!

This book is integrated with The Good and the Beautiful High School 1 Language Arts Course.  This book is also available for purchase as a PDF set at goodandbeautiful.com.
