Land Beyond the Rivers
Edith Brockway
Hardcover
(Westminster John Knox Press, June 15, 1966)
Young Alan Pepperill aimed to be a fur trader someday, with a castle of his own "somewheres out in the land beyond the rivers." That was why he ran away from his Uncle Jule to join the scraggly band of soldiers setting out from Winchester, under tall young Colonel Washington, to drive the French from the forts along the Ohio and the Allegheny...A novel rich with action and event, full of the color of a turbulent time in American history.
