  abstract = {A biographical novel of Colonel James Smith (1737-1814) and sequel to <em>The Judas Tree</em> (1933). Says a starred review in <em>Kirkus</em>, “Grand reading . . . like an absorbing adventure yarn, incredibly full of the 'spirit of '76' ' without being in the least degree flag waving. Young Smith was in on the first shot against Western Pennsylvania frontiersmen in rebellion against the Highlanders, French, Indians, British, friend or foe . . . so long as frontier rights were accepted.”},
