New Series The French And Indian Wars

Posted at Updated:
 

THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WARS

VOLUMES IN THE SERIES

The Hunters Of The Hills - A Story of the Great French and Indian War
"The Hunters of the Hills" is the first volume of a series dealing
with the great struggle of France and England and their colonies for
dominion in North America, culminating with the fall of Quebec. It is
also concerned to a large extent with the Iroquois, the mighty league
known in their own language as the Hodenosaunee, for the favor of
which both French and English were high bidders. In his treatment of
the theme the author has consulted many authorities, and he is not
conscious of any historical error.

The Shadow Of The North - A Story Of Old New York And A Lost Campaign
"The Shadow of the North," while an independent story, in itself,
is also the second volume of the Great French and Indian War series
which began with "The Hunters of the Hills." All the important
characters of the first romance reappear in the second.

The Rulers Of The Lakes - A Story Of George And Champlain
"The Rulers of the Lakes" is a complete story, but it is also the
third volume of the French and Indian War Series, following "The
Hunters of the Hills" and "The Shadow of the North." Robert Lennox,
Tayoga, Willet, and all the important characters in the earlier
romances reappear.

The Masters Of The Peaks - A Story Of The Great North Woods
"The Masters of the Peaks," while presenting a complete story in
itself is the fourth volume of the French and Indian War Series, of
which the predecessors were "The Hunters of the Hills," "The Shadow of
the North," and "The Rulers of the Lakes." Robert Lennox, Tayoga,
Willet, and all the other important characters of the earlier romances
reappear in the present book.

The Lords Of The Wild - A Story of the Old New York Border
"The Lords of the Wild" tells a complete story, but it is also a
part of the French and Indian War Series, of which the predecessors
were "The Hunters of the Hills," "The Shadow of the North," "The
Rulers of the Lakes" and "The Masters of the Peaks." Robert Lennox,
Tayoga, Willet, St. Luc, Tandakora and all the principal characters of
the earlier volumes reappear.

The Sun Of Quebec - A Story Of A Great Crisis
"The Sun of Quebec" is the sixth and closing volume of the French
and Indian War Series of which the predecessors have been "The Hunters
of the Hills," "The Shadow of the North," "The Rulers of the Lakes,"
"The Masters of the Peaks," and "The Lords of the Wild." The important
characters in the earlier books reappear, and the mystery in the life
of Robert Lennox, the central figure in all the romances, is
solved.
