Synopsis

In this sequel to The White Seneca, Henry Cochrane, now eighteen, is entrusted with a message from the settlers of the Wyoming Valley, Pennsylvania, to the Continental Army. They are suffering under the constant Indian raids instigated by the British and plead for protection. Because of Henry's knowledge of Indian ways, General George Washington requests his services as a scout for General Sullivan in the campaign to forever break the power of the Iroquois Confederacy. In the fall of 1779, the combined armies of Generals Sullivan and Clinton sweep across New York State, destroying Indian villages and crops. Henry, alone and in constant peril, travels ahead of the Army seeking to warn his Indian friends of the coming destruction while also desperately searching for the beautiful Constance Leonard whom he had been forced to leave in captivity a year earlier.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present volume continues the relation of Henry Cochrane that was begun in The White Seneca, and describes the formation of the army of Major-G eneral John Sullivan and its campaign against the Iroquois in 1779. The importance of this campaign as relating to the war of the Revolution has been almost overlooked by many writers upon the events of that time, and it was not until the journals of officers and men engaged in the campaign were published, that the very great accomplishment of Sullivan and his men was recognized by the generations of later times. Care has been expended to have our story follow closely the historical facts, and a thorough study of the time and the locality, combined with a knowledge of Indian life, warrants the author in saying that the adventures here set forth are not overdrawn and may be regarded as quite illustrative of the times.
