March Into The Endless Mountains

Ray Ward's dramatic March Into The Endless Mountains - 1778: The Beginnings of War on the Frontier of America, reconstructs the dramatic story of two cultures in clash and the adventures of a double spy who almost changed American history. Ward describes in vivid detail the battles spreading amid the mountains and along the Susquehanna River, western most boundary of Colonial settlement.

Herein, much as are interwoven the strands of a tapestry, the author weaves a tapestry of unfolding events, narrating the loves, tragedies, espionage and yes, terror that prevailed. The war is seen from several perspectives, Indian, Tory, Frontiersman, and those with divided loyalty. All major characters are drawn from real life, including the beautiful Seneca Queen Esther Montour of French and Indian descent, and Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant, college educated, who led the warring Indian nations.
