About this book

An ox-drawn sled brings Seth Beeman, his wife Ruth and their children through winter woods toward a new home near Fort Ticonderoga. A hunter named Job Carpenter recognizes Seth's connection to his old comrade Ezekiel Beeman and offers shelter for the night. Rowland Evans Robinson builds the opening around the sounds of snow, the slow progress of the team and the relief of finding help in unfamiliar country.

Set in the New Hampshire Grants, this historical adventure gives household life a place beside the dangers of the frontier. In a later scene, Nathan and his sister Martha encounter hunters on a creek, then return to a house disturbed by a bear. Their quick response turns an ordinary room into the scene of an urgent struggle. Detailed woodland observation and regional speech offer a way to read the past through work, family ties and unexpected encounters.
