The Awakening Land trilogy traces the transformation of a
middle-American landscape from wilderness to farmland to the site
of modern industrial civilization, all in the lifetime of one
character. The trilogy earned author Conrad Richter immense
acclaim, ranking him with the greatest of American mid-century
novelists. It includes The Trees (1940), The Fields (1946), and The
Town (1950) and follows the varied fortunes of Sayward Luckett and
her family in southeastern Ohio. The Fields tells the story of
Sayward as a wife and mother, working with her own brood on that
hard frontier to create a durable home, and aspects of civilization
in a region where life is still difficult and towns are just
beginning to appear. It is a rich and human novel about personal
conflicts and strife in the midst of a land that itself is
striving. And it has an epic quality that perfectly reflects the
sweeping conquest of the frontier.
