About This Book
Two village boys, close friends and fond of risk, move from schoolboy pranks into the turmoil of war and the frontier. Their adventures carry them into sea-fights and captivity, a perilous journey to Quebec, and extended travel through wooded backcountry, where they encounter Iroquoian villages, scouts, and ambushes. Episodes alternate between shipboard action, prison life, wilderness tracking, and lone frontiersmen, tracing the boys' growth through hardship, loyalty, and loss. The narrative culminates in the decisive campaign for control of the Canadian riverlands, showing personal courage amid the wider clashes of empire.
