Exploits of Daniel Boone #4

When a cunning fraud calling himself Wa-Seca-Wah claims supernatural powers to unite the tribes against the Kentucky settlers, Captain Daniel Boone and Sam Esty infiltrate his ceremonial gathering to expose him as a fake. What starts as a straightforward plan to debunk the wizard's tricks turns dangerous when Boone and Esty are captured—and Boone must outthink not just a con man, but a British major with his own agenda for the frontier.

When Sam Esty falls asleep on watch near the Kentucky border, he's snatched away by Indians—and Captain Daniel Boone must track his companion to Dark Owl's Village to bring him back alive. Using all his frontier cunning and a panther's scream to create chaos, Boone searches the village lodge by lodge, determined to find Sam before it's too late.

Daniel Boone and Sam Esty face their toughest challenge yet when a wagon train of Pennsylvania settlers—deceived by a crooked land agent into believing Kentucky is safe and civilized—arrives at Boonesborough just as Chief Red Axe and his Shawanese warriors launch a warpath attack. With most of the settlement's able-bodied fighters away on a hunting trip, Boone must rally the inexperienced newcomers to defend themselves against overwhelming odds. Can these naive easterners rise to the moment, or will their ignorance of frontier dangers prove fatal?

When fourteen-year-old Eddie Linn and his thirteen-year-old brother Peter are captured by Indians while hunting near their frontier home in 1785, the sons of the famous scout Colonel Linn must rely on their wits, their fighting spirit, and the frontier skills their father taught them to survive a harrowing ordeal. Forced to run the gauntlet and facing an uncertain fate in the village, the boys scheme for their chance to escape and make a desperate bid for home.
