Abstract:
In 1755 and 1756, the bloodthirsty warriors of Kit-Han-Ne descended upon the frontier of Pennsylvania and annihilated all in their path. Led by the Delaware chiefs, Shingas and Captain Jacobs, they spread terror to Philadelphia’s very doorstep. The Indian rampage had devastating consequences for Lightnin’ Jack Hawkins and his trapper friends, too, for they suddenly found themselves out of work and near starvation. Jack’s fortunes became even grimmer when he was captured by villainous rum traders and taken to the Delaware terrorist base to face certain torture or death. Instead, the fleet-footed woodsman escaped to lead Colonel John Armstrong’s colonial army to Kit-Han-Ne.
