New England and the British military are at each other's throat, the result of unfair taxation on the Colonies, yet deemed reasonable by the Crown for the price of protection. Imagine if you can who you might encounter on the streets of Philadelphia. Many delegates were together at the Continental Congress trying desperately to come up with solutions to appease their King. Further west imagine the frontier and the expansive wilderness, untamed and wild. Men had lived there for centuries as the native people or human beings as they called themselves, yet can you imagine seeing things through their eyes? Game was plentiful and the land pure because those dwelling there appreciated what they had and cherished their existence. During the American Revolution the inhabitants of the region were fully engaged, yet the colonists had mixed loyalties; some were dissatisfied with the British government and their 'Intolerable Acts', others were loyal to the Crown and would defend the King's honor at any cost. In addition, native people of many tribes found themselves fighting each other.
