The Riflemen of the Miami
1861
1861: The American frontier burns with conflict. When Shawnee raiders seize a young woman from her settlement, the call goes out for men brave enough to chase them into the deep woods. Lewis Dernor answers. A woodsman forged by years in the untamed Miami wilderness, he gathers his brothers George and Dick, and the Irish sharp-shooter Tom O'Hara four men whose names are whispered among the settlers as the last hope for the captive. What follows is a pulse-pounding pursuit through terrain so savage it swallows the unwary whole. Ellis writes with the visceral authority of a man who knows these forests, these guns, this desperate calculus of rescue where a single misstep means death or something worse. The Riflemen of the Miami captures a vanished era when a handful of skilled frontiersmen stood between vulnerable settlements and the violence of expansion. It's a adventure novel in the purest sense: a tale of courage under pressure, brotherhood tested by danger, and the stark beauty of a wilderness that doesn't care if you live or die.
