Présentation de l'éditeur
The trend of fiction running in the line of works upon the early scenes in our countrys history has probably been the incentive that has brought to light the pages of this book. We have had no diary of by-gone days, but we have gleaned from musty records, out of print in the first half of the past century. Histories of the present day as well as those of early date, have lent their aid in securing data, and where such occurs we have given credit. They have also furnished us scenes and characters familiar to all readers of their pages. The period through which our story extends antedates that of the Revolution by over a quarter of a century, although some of our characters figured conspicuously in that great struggle for free dom.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical novel set during the mid-18th century amidst the frontier settlements in Western Pennsylvania. It tells the story of Gilbert Frasier, an Irish immigrant, whose search for a better life lands him in the wilds of America. His misfortunes see him, his wife, and their young children being taken captive by a group of Indians and marched through unforgiving terrain to a settlement on the banks of the Allegheny River. Gilbert and his family are treated with varying levels of cruelty by their captors, but through a fortunate set of circumstances that involve the author's fictionalization of historical events, they are eventually taken under the protection of Queen Alliquippa, a revered Native American leader. The author's compelling narrative explores the themes of family, identity, and the clash between different cultures during a tumultuous time in American history. Throughout the trials of the frontier and the complexities of living between two worlds, the novel paints a vivid picture of the lives of the early settlers and their struggle to survive and establish their lives in the New World.
