Exploits of Daniel Boone #6
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDaniel Boone discovers that renegades have infiltrated Boonesborough, planning to sell the settlement's supplies to the Indians. After receiving a ransom note threatening hostages held in the forest, Boone refuses to pay and instead tracks the renegades to a cave system. Boone encounters a Shawnee chief named He-Who-Smiles, who initially opposes the settlers but eventually agrees to help stop the renegades from starting a war between the colonists and tribes. In the climactic confrontation, colonial militia face off against the Shawnee to prevent Yellow Snake and his warriors from attacking the settlement.
Captain Daniel Boone returns to Boonesborough amid a wave of mysterious raids on supply wagons and hunting parties, only to discover he himself has been marked for ambush by parties unknown. When boot prints at the attack site reveal white men—not Indians—are behind the thefts, Boone must uncover who's orchestrating the raids and why someone wants him silenced before he can expose them. With the settlement clamoring for swift justice against the Shawanese Indians, Boone races to find the real culprits in "Menace of the Renegades!"
When Captain Daniel Boone realizes that the British are arming frontier tribes and threatening to overwhelm the settlements one attack at a time, he devises a desperate plan: infiltrate Fort Montmorency, the major British arsenal supplying the Indians, and cut off their source of weapons. Disguised as Indians paddling downstream with a sick companion, Boone and Sam Esty must navigate a gauntlet of Shawanese warriors, evade recognition from enemies they've faced before, and bluff their way into the heart of the British stronghold—all while staying one step ahead of discovery.
When treacherous Ke-Mah plots to seize control of the Shawanese tribes by eliminating the peace-loving Chief He-Who-Smiles, Daniel Boone takes on a perilous mission to escort the chief's two sons, Laughing Star and Brown Eagle, to safety—all while Ke-Mah's search parties comb the forests. With enemies closing in from every direction and the chief himself walking into a deadly ambush, Boone must use every ounce of his frontier skills to protect the young travelers and outrun a vengeful war party.
Lt. Joshua Ross's reconnaissance mission goes catastrophically wrong when he stumbles upon Chief Yellow Snake's village and discovers his companions Mac and Peter already captured. Forced to surrender to save their lives, Ross faces execution by arrow-fire—but he spots an unexpected ally in the underbrush that just might turn the tables on the ruthless Shawanese leader.
