About this issue

Charles P. Isley's frontier narrative, published by Beadle and Adams in 1877, opens in October 1754 on the Maine frontier. The story centers on the Holden family's settlement, where tensions rise as Native American raids threaten neighboring townships. The Scout—an aging, experienced woodsman named Joseph Weir—arrives bearing urgent intelligence: the Androscoggin tribe has killed settlers at Falmouth, while the Ossipees are massing for an attack. Weir, a celebrated hunter and raid leader harboring deep animosity toward indigenous peoples, warns deacon Holden of impending danger. The household includes Holden's son George, daughter Ellen, and orphaned niece Annie; young Frederick Hancock works as a hired laborer. Weir's account and cryptic warning form the opening crisis, as the narrative begins establishing romantic tensions between the young people amid frontier peril.
