About This Book

Two teenage brothers and their family settle on the Ohio frontier and learn to rely on skill and courage as they face wilderness dangers and mounting conflict with nearby Indigenous war parties. The story moves through alarms, refuge in a blockhouse, bee-tree and bear hunts, trapping and encounters with French trappers, and friendships with notable frontier figures and a young Shawanee warrior. Captures, perilous rescues, council gatherings and war dances test loyalties while canoe passages, hidden caverns and tense tracking scenes create a sequence of adventures that probe survival, bravery and the bonds that hold a pioneer community together.
