A historical novel about the Cullen family, who settled in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and their participation in events prior to the French and Indian War. The frontier stretched from the New Hampshire Grants to the Ohio River. Resourceful and independent British subjects were establishing a new way of life in the New World, even when the Crown neglected them. Freedom and opportunity were on the march, but it extracted a heavy price. Frontier settlers were ruthlessly killed and butchered by rampaging Indians led by French officers and Jesuit priests who frequently incited them to greater levels of inhumanity. A peaceful future was in jeopardy, and fear gripped the land. A story of love and heroism on the colonial frontier.
