Summary: American Classic
Review: Though Chiefs is the first, it is without doubt the best of the Stuart Woods books. I have also been well pleased with his later books that follow with descendants of Will Henry Lee and other characters from his fictitious town of Delano. I have been less pleased with his Stone Barrington books; it is almost as if they were written by a different author. They were certainly written with lesser craftsmanship.

Summary: Well Done!
Review: While I have not seen it mentioned here, I think it is important to note this book won a Edgar Award in 1982. After having read the book I can see why it did as well as the high comments provided by others here. A few additional comments follow.I often find books spanning several generations such as this one to be very entertaining. The development of the characters as well as the community in which they were set was particularly well done. A few of the characters along with the common theme that spanned the length of the book gave additional depth to the story. After reading the last line in the book I came away with the feeling, "Well done"!
