Overall, Oak Openings is a classic work of American literature that provides a vivid depiction of life on the frontier during the early days of the United States.""Either it was so, or my fears made it SEEM so. The two canoes that passed first were well filled with Injins, each having eight in it; while the one that came last held but four warriors. They were a mile apart, and the last canoe seemed to be trying to overtake the others. I did think that nothing but their haste prevented the men in the last canoe from landing; but my fears may have made that seem so that was not so.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
