The Wilderness And The War Path (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162712437)

""The Wilderness and the War Path"" by James Hall is a historical fiction novel set in the early 1800s. The story follows the adventures of a young man named Arthur Singleton, who is raised by a Native American tribe after his family is killed in a raid. As Arthur grows up, he becomes a skilled hunter and warrior, but he also longs to reconnect with his white heritage.When the War of 1812 breaks out, Arthur finds himself torn between his loyalty to his adopted tribe and his duty to his country. He joins the American army and fights in several battles, including the infamous Battle of New Orleans.Throughout the novel, Hall vividly depicts the harsh realities of life on the frontier, as well as the complex relationships between Native Americans and white settlers. He also explores themes of identity, loyalty, and patriotism, making ""The Wilderness and the War Path"" a thought-provoking and engaging read for anyone interested in early American history or Native American culture.In ascending the chain of lakes, the voyager, after passing the Sault de Sainte Mary, no longer sees the fertile lands, the rich green forests, and the attractive scenery which delight the eye, on the shores of the more southern and eastern of these Mediterranean seas. Around him are the rigours of a high latitude, and the desolate features of a sterile country. The shores are bold and rocky, presenting a series of naked precipices, which afford but little for the subsistence of man or beast.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
