Description
Preface: ?On the Trail of Pontiac? is a complete story in itself, but forms the fourth volume of a line known by the general title of ?Colonial Series.? The first volume, entitled ?With Washington in the West,? related the adventures of Dave Morris, a young pioneer of Will?s Creek, now Cumberland, Va. Dave became acquainted with George Washington at the time the latter was a surveyor, and served under the youthful officer during the fateful Braddock expedition against Fort Duquesne. The Braddock defeat left the frontier at the mercy of the French and the Indians, and in the second volume of the series, called ?Marching on Niagara,? are given the particulars of General Forbes? campaign against Fort Duquesne and the advance of Generals Prideaux and Johnson against Fort Niagara, in which not only Dave Morris, but likewise his cousin Henry, do their duty well as young soldiers.
