Cateau De Leeuw Fear in the Forest

Annotation

An orphan boy whose father has been killed by Indians must overcome his fear of the vast forests of the Northwest Territory when he joins a pack-horse brigade..."What's Up? Indians comin'?" Abel laughed cruelly, and Daniel's mind was swept by unreasoning terror.Three years along, Indians had come out of the woods, to burn the cabin in the clearing and scalp Daniel's father. Since then the orphan boy had been an unwelcome member of the Worder household. His only chance to start life on his own was to join one of the pack-horse trains carrying supplies to the strong of forts General Wayne had built right up to the Indian country. The drivers of the trains faced real danger: the trails led through the dense forests of Ohio, and the Indians grew bolder every day....Fear in the Forest is a story of a stirring age, and is true to the period in the reactions and speech of its characters.
