On the edge of 18th century North America, love and loyalty are tested against cruel borders. Two lives, two frontiers collide. In The Wild Rose of the Beaver and Tononqua, The Pride of the Wyandots, Rudolph Leonhart offers two classic border tales, blending frontier romance and drama with the stark realities of pioneer and native relations in the colonial frontier wilderness. Drawing on the tradition of historical frontier fiction familiar to fans of James Fenimore Cooper and Last of the Mohicans style tales, these stories conjure the world of the Wyandot Native American tribe and the colonial frontier, forming a work of Native American historical fiction rich in atmosphere and moral tension. Originally written when tales of the American borderlands gripped readers, Leonhart's work stands between adventure yarn and cultural document, revealing how earlier generations pictured the meeting of cultures. For historical fiction readers drawn to nuanced pioneer and native relations, and for anyone seeking a thoughtful gift for history lovers or the sweep of a Native American historical novel, these narratives offer atmosphere, moral complexity and a rare glimpse into frontier myth-making. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this prepared edition preserves the spirit of a long-vanished frontier while making this distinctive work of Native American historical fiction accessible again to general readers, students of 18th century North America and collectors of classics.
