The Portage Path is a historical fiction novel written by Peter Peterson Cherry and originally published in 1911. The story is set in the late 18th century and follows the journey of a group of American pioneers as they travel westward from Pennsylvania to Ohio. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, including hostile Native American tribes, treacherous terrain, and harsh weather conditions.The novel takes its name from the Portage Path, a historic trail used by Native Americans and early European explorers to transport goods and supplies between the Great Lakes and the Ohio River. The path played a significant role in the development of the American frontier, and the novel explores its importance in the settlement of the Midwest.The main character of the novel is a young man named John Norton, who is driven by a desire to explore and conquer the wilderness. He is joined on his journey by a diverse group of settlers, including farmers, hunters, and traders, each with their own motivations and struggles.As the group makes its way across the rugged landscape, they must navigate complex relationships with the Native American tribes they encounter, including the Shawnee and the Delaware. The novel explores themes of cultural clash, identity, and the impact of colonization on indigenous peoples.Overall, The Portage Path is a gripping and vividly written tale of adventure and exploration, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of the pioneers who helped shape the nation's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
