Publisher's Synopsis

In Hostile Red is a historical fiction novel written by Joseph A. Altsheler. The story is set during the American Revolutionary War and follows the adventures of a young man named Henry Ware. Henry is a frontiersman who has been captured by the Shawnee Indians and is forced to live with them. Although he is initially hostile towards his captors, Henry eventually comes to understand their culture and way of life. As the war between the Americans and the British intensifies, Henry is faced with the difficult decision of choosing which side to fight for. He ultimately decides to join the American forces and becomes a valuable asset to their cause. Along the way, he encounters a number of historical figures, including George Rogers Clark and Simon Kenton. Throughout the novel, Altsheler paints a vivid picture of life on the frontier during the Revolutionary War. He explores themes of loyalty, honor, and the clash of cultures between the Native Americans and the Europeans.
