The author of The Overmountain Men and The Canebrake Men continues his Tennessee Frontier Trilogy as the American Revolution rages in the wilderness. Two years after the colonies declare their independence, the American and British armies fight a seemingly endless series of bloody battles in the east. But on the Tennessee frontier, the war is fought by far fewer rules of engagement. In the wilderness, those who strike silent and swift win the day, every tree or rocky hill might hide an enemy waiting with bullet and blade, and a painless death is a rare gift. It is in this chaotic land that frontiersman Joshua Colter leads the newly formed Patriot Rangers militia against both the hated British and their Cherokee and Chickamauga allies. The war has already cost all sides a great deal in blood and betrayal. But for Joshua, the war is about to bring the pain of his own past into the conflict as old enemies return to exact their revenge . . .
I would highly recommend the Tennessee Frontier Trilogy series for anyone who loves historical fiction and/or is interested in Tennessee history. Mr. Judd is a native Tennessean and has a true insight into life as it must have been for early settlers. I have read these books twice and have kept them and plan to rereread them. Mr. Judd's books were recommended for male readers,I am female and thoroughly enjoyed these books. I could imagine my ancestors living again in the pages of his books. Very well written!!
