About this book

One young longhunter. One untamed wilderness. A DREAM THAT WILL TEST HIM TO THE LIMIT.The land called Kentucke is a vast and unexplored wilderness where mountains, forests, and Native nations dominate the frontier. Few men dare venture into its remote backcountry, and fewer still possess the determination to make a life there.Raised by his father near the Cherokee town of Chota, Colton Frazier grows up with a deep respect for the wilderness and the people who call it home. His closest friend is Dragging Canoe, the son of the Cherokee peace chief. Inspired by his father, one of the first longhunters, Colt dreams of following the same path into the Appalachian frontier.When he finally sets out to fulfill that dream, Colt discovers that the wilderness holds far more challenges than he ever imagined. As he pushes deeper into the unknown, he must face the hardships and dangers of a land inhabited only by the many Native peoples who have lived there for generations.
