Publisher's Synopsis
They had been driven from their homes by Indians and their Tory allies after a cruel battle. Braving sixty miles of wilderness, the survivors struggled to safety, many of them perishing in the unforgiving wilderness. Barely a month later they brave the wilderness and their fierce foes again to reclaim their land-and therefore their lives. Not only do they return, but they strike at the heart of their stunned foes through three hundred miles of untamed wildreness. Read of their struggle against the greatest empire in the world, the British Empire, and the greatest Indian confederacy in North America, the Iroquois Confederacy. What is more fascinating is that it is all based on fact, taken from letters and histories left by them for their posterity. Hear their whispers across the ages, for we were very much on their minds. Should not they be on ours?
