As always Mr.Robertson and Mr. Rimer present historical accuracy in the form of an engaging story. Due to the French Indian War setting, it was very difficult for me not to compare this to The Deerslayer. But that was ok. While it lacks the grand scope of that famous and fun work it also lacks the wordy self sentimentalism also found there. Also it is far far more accurate with historical details. The main characters are both likable and changing over the course of the book. They are just people trying to survive as they are forced by circumstance and honor to take part in some very well detailed action of the opening days of that conflict. A good read.

"A mountain man's first duty ain't to no king," yelped Lightnin' Jack Hawkins. "It's to survive!" That was enough justification for his fellow scouts, Bearbite Bob Winslow and young Will Cutler, when they fled from the massacre of General Edward Braddock's redcoats near Fort Duquesne. Yes, survival was an everyday priority for these hardy men who trapped beaver and hunted for their meat in the primordial forests of the Alleghenies. Dangers lurked everywhere here in the form of ferocious cougars, scalp-stealing savages, and white e water rivers of immense fury. The woodsmen's worst nemesis, though, was Bold Wolf, the vicious Ottawa chief who brutally murdered Cutler's father and wanted to kill all the English like one pigeon. If that failed, the ruthless villain was more than willing to torture his enemies in the gauntlet or burn them at the stake. It was only through Bold Wolf's demise that Cutler could achieve inner peace. But would the resourceful lad be brave enough to meet the challenge when his cruel foe ambushed him in the dense hemlocks of the Alleghenies? No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
