Gunfire on the tree-line, a canoe cutting dark water, a cabin holding through the night: this is the contested edge of early America. The frontier never truly sleeps. John Frost gathers a sweeping record of frontier indian wars and the lives they shaped, spanning the colonial america frontier and the ohio river valley frontier, from Pennsylvania and Virginia through Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. More than a chain of dates, this classic frontier history reprint reads as vivid pioneer adventure narratives: backwoods raids and battles, hard-won escapes, and the sharp-eyed courage of men who ranged ahead of the settlements. Within this complete pioneer tales collection are the pioneer scout exploits and legendary names readers still seek out, including daniel boone adventures alongside kentucky frontier legends such as Kenton, Clark, Logan, Brady, Poe, Morgan, and the Whetzels. It serves equally well as an american history reference for context and comparison as it does as homeschool frontier history for families tracing how the early republic expanded, fought, negotiated, and endured. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. As a nineteenth-century synthesis of earlier frontier tradition, it holds lasting value for classic-literature shelves, while remaining compulsively readable for anyone drawn to survival stories, borderland conflict, and the making of the West.
