About This Book

A band of young frontiersmen and their seasoned hunter companion pursue enemy scouts, survive ambushes, and carry out reconnaissance and raids that link personal daring to broad military operations. Their journey moves through forests and along rivers to sieges and amphibious actions, a hazardous descent of the St. Lawrence, and the culminating assaults on Quebec and the Plains of Abraham. Episodes depict close combat with indigenous warriors, the strain of long marches and improvised craft, moments of generosity and betrayal within camp, and the tactical planning and courage required to turn small-scale scouting into decisive contributions to a larger campaign.
