The Young Trailers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419189241)

The Young Trailers is a historical fiction novel written by Joseph A. Altsheler. The story is set in the late 1700s in Kentucky, during the time when the area was still a frontier and the land was being fought over by Native Americans and European settlers. The novel follows the adventures of a group of young boys, including Henry Ware, Paul Cotter, and Tom Ross, who are determined to explore the wilds of Kentucky and make a name for themselves. Along the way, they encounter various challenges and obstacles, including hostile Native American tribes, dangerous animals, and treacherous terrain. As they journey deeper into the wilderness, the boys learn valuable lessons about survival, friendship, and the importance of courage and perseverance. They also come to understand the complex relationships between the different groups of people who are vying for control of the land, including the settlers, the Native Americans, and the British soldiers. The Young Trailers is a thrilling adventure story that captures the spirit of the American frontier and the challenges faced by those who sought to tame it. It is a timeless tale of bravery, determination, and the power of friendship, and it continues to captivate readers of all ages today.Up shot the sun showering golden beams of light upon the forest. The air grew warmer, but the little band did not cease its rapid pace northward until noon. Then at a word from Ross all halted at a beautiful glade, across which ran a little brook of cold water. The horses were tethered at the edge of the forest, but were allowed to graze on the young grass which was already beginning to appear, while the men lighted a small fire of last year's fallen brushwood, at the center of the glade on the bank of the brook.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
