Hawk's Nest; or, The Last of the Cahoonshees. / A Tale of the Delaware Valley and Historical Romance of 1690.

The narrative follows settler families and an Indigenous elder in the Delaware Valley as they confront the hardships of frontier life, including trapping, hunting, storms, and river accidents. Episodic scenes portray raids, captures, escapes, and skirmishes that lead to deaths, rescues, and reprisals, while a wise native teacher influences younger characters and imparts moral lessons. Personal loyalties and vows drive quests for revenge and reconciliation, and moments of mistaken identity, illness, and burial punctuate the story. The work closes with funerals, marriages, monuments, and the passing of memory and responsibility from one generation to the next.
