Allen M. Steele's Coyote Trilogy (Coyote, Coyote Frontier and Coyote Rising)
While some of Steele's work contains quite a bit of modern astro-science jargon, the Coyote series is much more just pure adventure and intrigue. When I originally gave Coyote an SFBC (science fiction book club) readers review I described it as something like:
first half is Political-Spy intrigue, and the second half is Mark Twain frontier adventure.
A great novel!

P.S. My 75 yo Mother, who is absolutely no SF fan, just loved Coyote too. It was probably the only science fiction she ever read.
