Written for the younger reader, this book dramatizes the Oriskany-Fort
Stanwix campaign, which saw St. Leger repelled and prevented the British
from sweeping down the Mohawk Valley during the American Revolution.
"Someone told us (this) was a children's book. They were wrong. It will
fascinate children but many adults will be unable to put it down. For
this is a story of true adventure, based on thrilling Mowhawk Valley
history. Until we read (it) we had not realized the many exciting
episodes of the Oriskany-Fort Stanwix campaign."
