“Ambush in the Alleghenies”, takes you on a wonderful journey to the untamed wilderness of the American frontier at the beginning of the French and Indian War. We meet trappers Lightnin’ Jack Hawkins and his friend Scotsman, Alexander MacDonald, as they traverse the wild frontier. Along the way they are captured by the French, plan their escape, and are joined by Will Cutler, who managed to escape from the Indians that murdered his father. Trekking through the rough land to reach the trading post, they meet a young General by the name of George Washington. Agreeing to be his guide, they now find themselves in the middle of his militia. Unable to forget the images of the battle of Culloden, Alexander questions whether he will continue in the militia. Along the way they encounter many Indians, including Bold Wolf, the man who killed Cutler’s father. We witness Will come into his own and earn the name, Big Cat Cutler. With danger lurking around every corner, they encounter numerous attacks from the French, Indians, wild animals and the weather. With the end of each trail a new one takes its place. In the mean time, Will has his heart and mind set on winning the love of the Indian Princess, Bright Star. When given the chance to settle down in one place will Alex and Jack stay, or will they be moved by the wind?
