I read the Carry The Wind series years ago and really enjoyed it. Lately its been calling to me so I've been revisiting the world of Titus Bass. The first time I read it in the order the books were released (original trilogy, then the prequels followed by the sequels). This time I'm reading it in chronological order. I finished Dance on the Wind and Buffalo Palace quickly and just started Crack in the Sky.
I'm surprised how much I had forgotten about this series. Outside of major events its like I'm reading it for the first time. I'm enjoying reading them in chronological also. It gives it a little different feel.
I think I realize and appreciate more this time how much research Terry C Johnston did. Also the fact that he didn't create a bigger than life hero in Titus. His simple choices, avoiding cliches that often take place in novels on the fur trade era also add to the appeal. One example is Titus going west with a Deringer rifle instead of Hawken which many writers choose.
I'm sure most here have read the series. If you haven't I obviously highly recommend it. I've read a lot of novels on the fur trade era and this is my favorite.
