Shawnee Scream - (The Long Hunter's Journals) by B N Rundell (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

ONE MAN. ONE RIFLE. A FRONTIER AWASH IN BLOOD.

The Kentucke Territory is a wild and dangerous land where rival tribes, greedy land speculators, and determined pioneers clash for control of an untamed wilderness. Few men venture into its rugged mountains and dark forests-and even fewer survive long enough to carve out a future there.

When Jedediah Stroud's family is massacred in a raid carried out by renegade Shawnee warriors working for corrupt white settlers, the young apprentice gunsmith is left alone with his grief. Determined to become a longhunter and make his own way on the frontier, Jedediah struggles to leave thoughts of vengeance behind and build a new life in the wilderness.

But the men responsible for his family's murder are never far away. As violence spreads across the territory, Jedediah is drawn into a deadly conflict that will test his courage, his morals, and his future. Along the way, settlers, a church community, and a remarkable Native woman will challenge everything he believes, forcing him to choose between the man he wants to become and the blood-soaked path of revenge.
