In 1783, the upper Ohio frontier is entering a period of uneasy transition. Two veteran bordermen, including the famed Lewis Wetzel, continue to defend isolated settlements around Fort Henry even as the Revolutionary War draws to a close and increasing numbers of settlers push westward.

Their skills belong to a dangerous border world that is beginning to change beneath them. Raids, abductions and pursuit through the forest still demand the old frontier knowledge, but settlement is making that way of life less sustainable. The novel combines adventure with the melancholy sense that the men best adapted to the wilderness may have no easy place in the society replacing it.
