The Free Rangers: A Story of the Early Days Along the Mississippi

A group of five young frontier rangers patrol and scout the Mississippi borderlands, using forest craft and patience to spy on enemy camps. They clash with a Spanish commander and his guides, seize a river vessel and voyage down the great river amid storms and naval engagements. The men face captivity, brutal ordeals, and personal tests while defending settlers, fighting skirmishes on banks and bayous, and confronting tactical challenges. Through prophetic planning and close comradeship they work to drive foreign influence from the territory and undertake a chosen task that determines the immediate fate of their community.
