"This was their land, not because they had bought it, not because they owned a piece of paper with their name on it, not because a king who lived far away granted them a charter...This was his land and had been his as far back as the memory of man extended.

No GPS or hiking apps. That Android of yours would be utterly worthless. :P
The thought of no Goodreads makes me hyperventilate. :( I know I couldn't hack it in colonial times. Everything done with manual labor combined with horses and oxen. Working in fields from sunrise to sunset, laundry with washboards or rocks, outdoor privies in a Massachusetts winter. NO THANKS.
