Reseña del editor:

1751. The sky is on fire. Destruction, born on the winds, spreads east to the banks of the Susquehanna River. Rising flames, fanned by grease-painted warriors clad in doeskin. Attacks mount on scattered farms and settlements. Appalachian frontier becomes a battleground. Ambush, mayhem, torture, murder, rape, arson, and kidnapping are the nature of combat. French incursions ignite the simmering powder keg. Forty marines and ‘couer du bois’ advance into the Ohio territory. They seek alliances with Algonquin tribes and reestablish dominance over the region. The leader of the expedition, Sieur Louis Coulon de Villiers locates fort sites, and with the help of native allies, drives out encroaching English pioneers. Coulon de Villiers makes camp on the Loyalhanna Creek.
