A nation was being born in violence and courage. A people were fighting for their pride, survival, and their future...
At the dawn of the 18th century, while the French and English are locked in a battle for the northeast territory, the ancient Indian tribes begin a savage brother-against-brother conflict-forced to take sides in the white man's war-pushed into an era of great heroism and greater loss.
In the tradition of James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans, and the later adventure exploits of Daniel Boone and Jim Bowie, the First Frontier Series is a stunningly realistic adventure saga set on America's earliest battleground.
BOOK TWO:
Trapper Sam Watley and his son Thad have come to the Ohio Valley to trade with the native tribes. But the Watleys reach the rich land only to find it ravaged by the fires of war. Captured after the long, bloody siege of Fort Detroit by Chief Pontiac, Sam Watley becomes a captive, first of the Ottawa and then the Chippewa, while Thad begins a desperate quest to free him.
While the Watleys race across the crystal waters of the Great Lakes toward freedom, a handful of rebellious Senecas have ignited another round of bloodshed in the East. There, a fierce warrior awaits the return of Big Oak and his son, for a final duel to the death.
