    About this ebook

    Josiah, a freed slave, sets out to see the 1754 Virginia frontier before it disappears under the white man’s farm and plow. Off to a harrowing start, his life is saved by a dead man. With a fresh start and direction, he heads for the frontier land called Kentuck, home of the Shawnee and Cherokee nations.

    Saving the life of a Cherokee chief brings him, a black man, into the tribe as a blood brother and a warrior battling the hated Seneca Nation, who join forces with French traders battling the English for domination of North America.

    Romance, war, adventure in a lost pristine, primeval forest, inhabited by the displaced Cherokee Nation, occupy every page until Josiah and his young family decide to investigate what is now Missouri.
