The Masters of the Peaks: A Story of the Great North Woods (French and Indian War Series)

310 pp. "It is laid in the period of the French and Indian War, just after the colonists' first big victory at Lake George, and it pictures their subsequent struggles with Montcalm. The book ends with the massacre of Fort William Henry. Robert Lennox, a young American fighter, and his two friends--Tayoga, and Onondaga Indian, and David Willett, a hunter--fall in with Achille Gary, a crafty Frenchman, whom they recognize as a spy. By ingenious methods they get him to disclose the whereabouts of an important message and so gain the upper hand, but new difficulties in the way of carrying out their plans for discovering the intentions of the enemy soon arise."
