Jason Born’s Reviews > The Pioneers: The Heroic Story of the Settlers Who Brought the American Ideal West > Status Update

As I expected of a McCullough tome, I am truly enjoying this. He really puts the opening of the Northwest Territories to settlement in a new light. So far in my short reading time, he appears to make the case that it is among the most enlightened aspects of the American experience from its chief proponents in Cutler and Putnam to the NW Ordinance and beyond.
