Tomahawk Border
Life on the southwestern frontier of Virginia was harsh, cruel, and dangerous in 1714. Fort Christanna had been established by Governor Alexander Spotswood to protect the harried settlers. Mounted rangers patrolled the wilderness. The settlers lived in constant fear of Indian uprising and attack.
Delk Rogers, mollycoddled and bossed at home by four sisters, ran away form the farm to join the rangers when he heard they were recruiting in the area. Delk soon found out that he had traded one pack of troubles for another. The rangers had not wanted to enlist him—at sixteen he was too young an inexperienced—and they quickly turned against him when they found him to be careless, thoughtless, irresponsible, and undependable.
TOMAHAWK BORDER is the exciting story of Delk's courageous fight to regain the respect of his comrades and grow to manhood in the ranks of the Virginia rangers, told with understanding and contagious good humor by one of America's outstanding writers for young people.
