The Eyes of the Woods: A Story of the Ancient Wilderness
The Eyes of the Woods: A Story of the Ancient Wilderness
The Kentucky wilderness in the early frontier days is no place for the faint of heart. When Henry Ware, Paul Cotter, Shif'less Sol Hyde, Silent Tom Ross, and Long Jim Hart seek shelter from a raging storm in a secluded hollow, they find no rest, the danger that lurks in these ancient woods is patient and relentless. Their ammunition dwindles while Native warriors, seeking revenge for previous skirmishes, track their every move through the untamed forest. Henry remains the group's anchor: watchful, confident, his instincts sharpened by years of frontier survival. Each man carries his own burden of skill and fear, their camaraderie the only thing standing between them and the violent uncertainty of the wilderness. Altsheler writes with visceral clarity about an America that no longer exists, where the forest itself becomes another character, vast, indifferent, and watching. This is adventure fiction at its purest: men against nature, friends against enemies, courage against the darkness.
