Shadows on the Longhouse

It was a war that would change America-forever. But for those caught in between, it was a battle for their land-and their survival... At the dawn of the 18th century, while the French and English are locked in a battle for the northeast territory, the ancient Indian tribes begin a savage brother-against-brother conflict-forced to take sides in the white man's war-pushed into an era of great heroism and greater loss.

In the tradition of The Last of the Mohicans, the First Frontier Series is a stunningly realistic adventure saga set on America's earliest battleground.

BOOK THREE From Canada and Europe white men have come to fight, while the ancient Iroquois Confederacy has shattered along two battle lines. But for trapper Sam Watley and his son Thad, the war of 1776 is not theirs-until Sam is brutally betrayed by a British colonel. Striking back, the man they call Big Oak, and his son, are plunged into a furious struggle deep in the wild Adirondack Mountains, pitting tribe against tribe and hurtling white men and Indians alike toward a new future on the American frontier.
