Joseph Altsheler began writing juvenile science fiction, when there
were few books in the genre. Because Altsheler felt a
responsibility to his young readers, he was careful to make his
books historically accurate. His simple language and interesting
plots are welcome at any age. Altsheler writes about the French and
Indian War in The Hunters of the Hills. Robert Lennox, Tayoga and
their older partner Dave Willet, a guide and hunter are the
characters in this first book of the series. The story is set in
the forests of Upstate New York. From the foreword "The Hunters of
the Hills" is the first volume of a series dealing with the great
struggle of France and England and their colonies for dominion in
North America, culminating with the fall of Quebec. It is also
concerned to a large extent with the Iroquois, the mighty league
known in their own language as the Hodenosaunee, for the favor of
which both French and English were high bidders. In his treatment
of the theme the author has consulted many au thorities, and he is
not conscious of any historical error."
