Jeopardy Pass: An Ohio Frontier Classic (Raising Cain Book 1)

Oho history comes alive with this new series by Author Gerald L. Guy

Following the Revolutionary War, Americans finally are free to explore new lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. Most of the original thirteen colonies are overcrowded and independence ignites a flame of adventure throughout the newly-formed nation.
Young Billy Cain is consumed by the excitement of moving to the “vast frontier” with his Boston family in 1800. The family’s journey, however, is fraught with hardship and disappointment. In the course of a few months, raging weather, river pirates, outlaws, hostile Indians, and deadly fever turn his world upside down. The young teen loses both of his parents and is forced to forge new friendships in the Northwest Territory, an untamed but fertile wilderness that stretches north of the Ohio River.
When all seems lost, Billy is befriended by a young Delaware brave and a burly blacksmith, who provide direction to his life. On a rare cattle drive from the Ohio Country to Zanesburg and Fort Henry, Billy proves his worth and saves his friends from certain death.
