Dan'l Boone #2

Daniel Boone finally gets the solitude he craves in the forest, only to stumble upon an elderly Indian left behind by his tribe—and after saving him from wolves, learns of a planned Pawnee attack on the nearby settlement. Racing back to warn the settlers, Boone finds himself trapped in a grueling siege where his frontier wisdom clashes bitterly with the settlers' panic and distrust, forcing him to make impossible choices to keep them alive.

Dan'l Boone rescues a young man from drowning in a swollen river, only to discover the boy was raised by Shawnees and desperately wants to return to them—but when the tribe rejects him as no longer one of their own, Boone must help him escape a closing war party by taking a desperate gamble through treacherous rapids. As they survive the harrowing journey together, the boy begins to see that belonging to the forest doesn't require belonging to a single tribe.

In 1782, with the Revolutionary War won but frontier captives still held by Indians, Col. Clinton pursues a bold prisoner-exchange strategy—only to walk straight into an ambush that Dan'l Boone sees coming. When Boone's rescue attempt seems to backfire, he hatches a daring plan that will test both his nerve and his friends' trust. A frontier tale of strategy, sacrifice, and the difference between pride and wisdom.
