About This Book

The narrative follows a handful of young frontiersmen who make a hidden camp in a cliff hollow and face storms, scarcity of ammunition, and the threat of returning hostile war parties; their bond, resourcefulness, and knowledge of the forest guide efforts to protect supplies and outwit pursuers. Episodes move between tense skirmishes, travel by river and canoe, encounters with dangerous game, and moments of camaraderie and practical humor. The structure strings action scenes and survival episodes into a continuous wilderness adventure that emphasizes self-reliance, the relation between men and the natural world, and the constant vigilance required to live and fight in an untamed landscape.
