Description

A French soldier journeys from the Illinois country in 1763 with a message to Pontiac that promises French support in his attacks against the British. Partially set in Detroit.* George Randall Parrish (1858-1923) grew up in Kewanee, Illinois and began a legal career in Wichita, Kansas. In the early 1880s he left his law practice and worked at a number of odd jobs throughout the west, eventually becoming a newspaper reporter. This was one of many adventure stories he published.
