Early one morning in the year 1754 the stillness of Charlestown,New Hampshire, was shatterd by shrill war whoops and the terror of an indian raid.Young Mriiam Willard, on a day which had promised new happiness, found herself indtead a captive on a forest trail, caught up in the ebb and flow of the Freanch and Indian war.

It was a Harrowing march norht. Miram could only force herself to the next stopping place, the next small portion of food, the next icy stream to be crossed. What waits at the end of the trail-besides an Indian gauntlet and a life a slavery?
