Books with title The Riflemen of the Ohio

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.

Joseph Alexander Altsheler (1862-1919) was an American author of popular juvenile historical fiction. In 1885, he took a job at the Louisville Courier-Journal as a reporter and later, an editor. He started working for the New York World in 1892, first as the paper's Hawaiian correspondent and then as the editor of the World's tri-weekly magazine. Due to a lack of suitable stories, he began writing children's stories for the magazine. His works include: Before the Dawn (1903), The Young Trailers: A Story of Early Kentucky (1907), The Last of the Chiefs: A Story of the Great Sioux War (1909), The Riflemen of the Ohio (1910) and The Sun of Quebec: A Story of a Great Crisis (1919).
