Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book plunges you into the tumultuous years of the American Revolution, following the extraordinary life of Nathaniel Foster, a New England patriot who embodies the spirit of the era. Witness his unwavering dedication to the fight for independence, from the pivotal battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill to the grueling winter encampment at Valley Forge. Through Foster's experiences, the author paints a vivid picture of the challenges and sacrifices faced by those who fought for liberty. You'll encounter the harrowing realities of war, the camaraderie forged in hardship, and the unwavering determination that fueled the American spirit. But this is more than just a war story. It delves into the complex relationship between colonists and Native Americans, exploring the deep-seated mistrust and animosity that fueled conflict on the frontier. Foster's personal encounters with the devastating consequences of these tensions shape his own perspective and actions, raising questions about the cost of freedom and the moral complexities of war. Ultimately, this book offers a powerful and nuanced portrait of a man, a nation in the throes of change, and the enduring legacy of the fight for independence.

"A faithful account of the life and adventures of a character familiar to sportsmen and others who frequent the Adirondacks.The assumption that Foster is the hero of Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales is well founded.

In 1787 at a tavern in St. Johnsville, clad in buckskins, he gave his name as "Leatherstockings."

He became enthralled with the people and the mountains, and bought a camp at North Lake.
