The Young Trailers Annotated Complete Series 8 Novels eBook Joseph A Altsheler VA Ren
My father, born in 1916, read THE YOUNG TRAILERS SERIES when he was a lad growing up in Milwaukee. Years later, he introduced this collection of books by Joseph Altsheler to me when I was the same age to appreciate them as much as he had.The trailers – Henry Ware, Paul Cotter, “Silent” Tom Ross, “Shiftless” Sol Hyde, and “Long” Jim Hart – are woodsmen living in Kentucky at the beginning of the American Revolution. Great fighters adept at wilderness survival, they spend their time foiling the attempts of the native Shawnee and Miami tribesmen and their British allies from destroying the nascent American frontier settlements.
When I first read the series, I was devastated when I reached the end of the last volume and there was no more to be had. These eight books did more than any others to instill in me a lifelong love affair with reading. Thanks, Dad!
The author’s intended audience for THE YOUNG TRAILERS is strictly composed of pre-teenage and young teenage boys. Girls need not crack the books’ covers. Indeed, when around innumerable forest campfires, our five heroes never ever discuss wives, ex-wives, sweethearts, or any otherwise attractive female. They have no romantic or sexual interests, period, that might detract from the lessons the author was apparently trying to teach his audience that would inspire its members to mature into honorable, hard-working adult men of unimpeachable characters unsullied by prurient interests. Henry and Paul begin the series as youths, and Altsheler continues to refer to them as such throughout. The two never seem to chronologically mature while remaining in the company of the other, older three men, though Henry becomes the unquestioned leader of all five. I mean, the two (or any of the band) are never even described shaving!
Reading the series again as an old adult, I can now discern the numerous plot holes and improbabilities that are ignored and unexplained. That said, however, I could not but recommend THE YOUNG TRAILERS to any young boy as a vehicle for fomenting an interest in books.

The Young Trailers Annotated Complete Series 8 Novels eBook Joseph A Altsheler VA Ren Reviews
I read one of the Young Trailers series book on a lark and loved it so I purchased the entire set for 99 cents. I an old guy but thoroughly enjoyed these juvenile/young adult stories. While these are works of fiction Mr. Altsheler researched and populated his books with a fair amount of historical accuracy. They were written around 1900 so the writing style and historical reference may be a bit outdated but I have always found that to be another source of interest to consider the social environment they were written in.
The Best
Well written, excellent story.
An excellent skilled writer of Indian lore, and their customs as seen through the dialogue presented in characters developed by the author. He takes you back to the days of old!
I loved it. Even though it was long. I never lost interest in it. I was always looking forward to my reading time.
Loved this series years ago
I LOVE THIS SERIES! i have read it three times, its a shame that to buy it in hard cover is so expensive
