About the Book
On a frosty November dawn in central Pennsylvania, Duncan MacGregor sets off on a long and lonely hike to the Iroquois Indians in northern New York Colony. Their alliance is essential to the English in their struggle against the French and their Indians. Little does Duncan know that he will be caught up in the French and Indian War of the 1750’s together with a race of people he neither likes nor trusts. Arriving among the Iroquois, Duncan is involved in a series of raids and battles--including Braddock’s humiliating defeat at Fort Duquesne. In this exciting novel, seven years of research provide many details of Iroquois life never before contained between two covers.
About the Author
Ward Jamison grew up in rural western Maryland where he became fascinated with the Native American artifacts he found in his Potomac River valley, an area rich not only in Indian lore, but in American history of the eighteenth century. That childhood interest stimulated historical study in later life, and it was augmented by a blossoming talent for creative writing. With published articles under his belt, Ward plunged into SNOW WALKER, which won first place for mainstream fiction in national competition at the Pikes Peak Writers Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
