The Scouts of the Valley

More about the book

The Scouts of the Valley is an exciting tale set on the Western frontier during the American Revolution. Though still young, Henry Ware is already an experienced outdoorsman. Having moved from Virginia to the wilds of Kentucky, he has happily made the forest his home. Now he and his friends - Paul, Silent Tom, Long Jim, and Shif'less Sol - are called upon to help the settlers who are plagued by the British on one side and the hostile Iroquois on the other. Joseph Altsheler's historical fiction has been popular with generations of young readers. The Scouts of the Valley is part of his 'Young Trailers' series, bringing to life the early days of European settlement in Kentucky.
