I've recently begun reading the Murphy series by Gary Paulsen and I have the first four books, which, going by publication date order and numbers found on the backs of the books put them in this order:
1. Murphy 2. Murphy's Gold 3. Murphy's War 4. Murphy's Herd
But, after reading the blurbs, it would seem that the last two should be read in reverse order (4 before 3).
Has anyone read this series and can you then confirm if this is correct or not?

The reason I've queried this is that someone is dead in Herd but still alive in War.
It wouldn't be the first time that a publisher put the books out in the wrong order.
