The Young Trailers , led by our old friend Henry Ware, here act as scouts for a great fleet coming up the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers with supplies for the REvolutionary Army at Pittsburgh. Henry Ware is captured by the chief of the Wyandotte Indians, but escapes and rejoins his four companions. Together they use all the skills at their command to protect a fort on the Ohio from the Indians and to hasten the arrival of the fleet when the Indians besiege the fort.
