Kingston, W.H.G.: Afar in the Forest v1 1 feb 2009
 

This is not one of Kingston's naval stories, but it describes the adventures and daily life of early settlers of America. Fights with bears, wolves and natives are usual for a family of Brits.

This tale is quite PI, as "savages" are shot on sight and animals killed randomly. Please refrain from reading this book if such things affect you.

Apart from this warning, this action-based read is entertaining and features great illustrations and a great cover by ravenne.
