The tenth adventure in a Mountain Man series from Peter Alan Turner!

Once again, the war drums are thundering across the Frontier! Mountain men Zach Watkins and Henry Okwaho, hoping to avoid the war, are returning from a long hunt when they stumble upon a young boy whose family has been slaughtered by Indians. These Indians had been encouraged to raid, kill, and scalp the settlers by English Lieutenant-Governor Henry ‘Hair-Buyer’ Hamilton.

Concerned that joining the rebels would leave their families vulnerable to Indian attack, Zach and Henry are reluctant to join the fight. However, when Lieutenant-Colonel George Rogers Clark finally convinces the men that helping him locate sites for forts that Clark plans to build along the Ohio River will defend the settlers against attack from the West, Zach and Henry reluctantly agree. What follows will test the mountain men’s survival and fighting skills as they find themselves swept up in a battle for control of the Ohio Valley and the safety of their families.

War drums echoed through the Frontier, signaling another bloody conflict on the horizon.

But when they come across a young boy whose family has been brutally slaughtered by Indians, they realize they can no longer avoid the war. These Indians, encouraged by the ruthless English Lieutenant-Governor Henry 'Hair-Buyer' Hamilton, are determined to drive out the settlers and claim the land for themselves.

As they reluctantly join forces with Lieutenant-Colonel George Rogers Clark, Zach and Henry must use their survival and fighting skills to help locate sites for forts along the Ohio River. It's a risky mission, but one that could provide much-needed protection for their loved ones. But as they journey deeper into the heart of the battle, they soon realize that their skills will be put to the ultimate test.

Amidst the chaos and bloodshed, Zach and Henry must navigate through conflicting loyalties and personal sacrifices. Can they protect their families while also fighting for a cause they believe in? And with their enemies closing in, will they even make it out alive?
