Ben Comee

A young Lexington resident comes of age through village chores, hunting and trapping, and an apprenticeship before joining Rogers's Rangers. The narrative follows frontier patrols and scouting missions, tense skirmishes with French and Indigenous forces, daring assaults on forts, winter expeditions, captures and escapes, and episodes of starvation and river drift that test survival. Interwoven with military action are scenes of small‑town life, friendships, practical skills, and the stark hardships of campaigning on the wilderness frontier.
