Set against the backdrop of colonial America, Into the Woods is the story of pioneer and patriot Jonathan Wood. Straining against the bonds of Tidewater society, and tempted by an ancient legend, Jonathan's sense of adventure leads him "Over the Mountains" of southwest Virginia. Perils abound for this brave pioneer, who must face threats from the native tribes, the British, and even more sinister enemies, while fighting for the woman he loves and the land that will not let go of his heart. Based on a true story, Into the Woods is a tale of adventure, danger, love, loss, and the triumph of the human spirit.

INTO THE WOODS by David Wood provides insight into the age of American exploration of pioneer Jonathan Wood.At the battle of Kings Mountain, Jonathan Wood places his patriotism on the line in one of the most influential battles in pursuit of independence of this country that nearly ended his life. Much of the early coverage of the exploits of Jonathan Wood were well documented in the writings of Lyman Draper (aka Draper Manuscripts), and later stories associated with Daniel Boone, but this book places faces on the names and character insights into the processes that turned a wilderness frontier into the westward movement that was later chronicled by Hollywood.
This book should be mandatory reading in schools for describing the early American frontier, as well as frightful, as well as positive interactions between early settlers and Native Americans!
The stories described herein are compelling and thought provoking. The timelines are historically accurate and reflect in-depth research and personal investment into the lives of the Wood family of Southwest Virginia. This work should, in my opinion, evolve into another book about the Wood family, which might expand into the similar pioneer exploits of Jonathan Wood's son Henry Wood and his family. After his many years of intense research, David Wood leaves a lasting legacy with both his son Davis S. Wood, and the book that his son made possible. Sadly, this work could only reach publishing following the elder David Wood's passing.
Anyone researching Southwest Virginia and wilderness exploration would have Addington's History of Scott County, and SHOULD have "Into The Woods" by David Wood as a companion reference as well! Excellent work!

Into the Woods 9780982508725 David Wood David S Wood Books Reviews
You will enjoy this book. Took my hardly no time to read. I kept my attention and read the book while on vacation sitting on the beach. Take this book with you as you will really enjoy it.SJ
Very well written and good plot but I felt it was left lacking by the time I finished. It seemed that the way the book began should have been developed instead of just kind of forgotten. The story also seemed very rushed.
This story has particular value to me not only because it's well told, but because it's based on history passed down in the Wood family from Revolutionary times. The story gives rare insight into the years after the first settlers established colonies in Virginia, when pioneers began pushing into the interior. The characters are well drawn, and the author handles the arcs of several stories simultaneously. The book seems like it should be turned into a movie.
different than his other books but very well done .it covers a mans whole life
The story gets going and holds you to the end. Description sounds authentic and character development is believable. I would have liked to see, though, a second book as a continuation search for the mine or whatever. The vague mystic explanation was a let down.
I enjoyed this book. It was different from his usual works. This one is a historical fiction. It takes place around the early 1700 when the first settlers were moving over the Blue Ridge Mountains into the Shenandoah Valley. I grew up and traveled many times down into the area where the story takes place (along the Holston River). So, His description of the area was very real to me. It kind of made me home sick.
Here is a glimpse into the lives of real 18th-century Americans before, during, and after the Revolution. Instead of the typical history-book view of major battles and major figures, Into the Woods treats us to a very personal perspective on the early westward movement of first- and second-generation Scotch-Irish immigrants in the Virginia colonies. I like the style and the writing, and I like the drama of love lost and won. The personal bond between the chief character and a native American is touching while remaining wholly plausible. Father and son collaborated in writing this family history shortly before Wood Sr. died.
