the pioneers by david mccullough
David McCullough is one of those authors for me.

Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. I've always learned from his books but this one was on a subject that I was not at all acquainted with: the first American settlements in the Ohio territory.
Slavery and limited suffrage became themes, both in the tome and history, that wove their way into the story, all a part of the larger story that created modern crises. Rather than bringing history to life with the vivid descriptions and crisp writing style for which he's so well respected, McCullough takes the path of least resistance by liberally stringing together quotes drawn from a trove of original sources. Armed with the passion to explore, these men sought to develop a way of life not seen on these lands before, encountering much in the wilderness, from well-established Indian settlements to countless animals who had made the future states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin their home. I knew that the Ohio territory was the first 'west' that Americans went flocking to but no other details and I even ended up hauling out an atlas so I could figure out where exactly these first pioneers settled.It’s always a treat to have a new David McCullough book! . As with other McCullough books I have read, I was not disappointed.

His many other highly-acclaimed works of historical non-fiction include The Greater Journey, 1776, Brave Companions, The Great Bridge, The Wright Brothers, and The Johnstown Flood.
David McCullough has twice received the Pulitzer Prize, for "A tale of uplift, with the antislavery settlers embodying a vision of all that was best about American values and American ideals. But I feel we need to show the greater complexity in history with the participation of different groups in creating the society we have today.
There, I said it. The main criticism was that that there were too many names, too many details, and it covered too much. Mr. McCullough is among a group of historians you have literally changed American history over the last half-century. Seems as soon as I would become interested in a person or information, he would flit over to something else.
