Summary "The Hunters of the Hills" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. This book serves as the first volume in a series that focuses on the conflicts between the French and English during the French and Indian War, along with the dynamics involving the Iroquois tribes. The narrative centers around three main characters: Robert Lennox, a lad of unknown origin; Tayoga, an Onondaga warrior; and David Willet, an experienced hunter, as they navigate the tensions of their time amidst scenic wilderness and impending conflict. The opening of the story introduces the trio as they paddle a canoe through a serene lake in the New York wilderness. They converse about the precarious situation involving rival tribes and the looming danger of a French assault, emphasizing their respective skills and backgrounds. Tayoga, a proud young warrior and future chief, showcases his deep cultural ties to the land and his people's history. Meanwhile, Robert reflects on his mysterious heritage and connection to both the English and French. Their journey is framed by a rich description of nature and hints at an advancing conflict, setting the stage for the adventures and challenges they will face while exploring alliances and enmities in a tumultuous era.
