The Pioneers
68Worth an evening.
Cooper's most useful novel. A town trying to become a law, and the man the law does not fit.
The review
This is the Leatherstocking book to read if you read one. The famous adventures are easier. This one is about a people who have arrived and must decide what they owe the land and the man who got there first among them. The trial is better civics than most films about the founding.
Read the trial and the Christmas chapters. Skip nothing that is an argument about a law.
Journal
Keep The Pioneers in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 68. Yours can differ.
The glance
Piety is the thin one.
Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Little Women
80 instead of 68
Little Women is still a novel book, and it scores 80 instead of 68. What you gain is piety: Conscience is a daily argument, especially for Jo.
The eight
- 8Industry
A settlement's first crafts, courts, and seasons.
- 6Household
Judge Temple's house is the civilizing center. It is also a little pompous.
- 4Piety
Christmas and custom more than devotion.
- 6Courage
Natty stands alone in court. That is the courage.
- 8Republic
Game laws, a judge, a jury. The novel is about whether a town can bind itself.
- 6Temperance
Waste of game is a real argument, not a mood.
- 8Truth
Cooper lets the judge and the woodsman both be partly right.
- 8Stewardship
The question is what kind of place they are leaving to the next lot of owners.
