The Long Hunters: Exploring the Uncharted

During the late 18th century, before the era of Manifest Destiny began, a breed of frontiersmen emerged, known as the long hunters. These intrepid explorers, armed with muskets, knives, and a profound spirit of adventure, set out to traverse the uncharted lands west of the Appalachian Mountains.

Under the cover of dense forests, these hunters embarked on long expeditions, sometimes spanning multiple years, to provide sustenance for growing settlements and map uncharted territories. They were the pioneers of the American wilderness, venturing into the unknown to secure a better future for their communities.

The Perils of the Wilderness

Life in the wilderness was unforgiving. The long hunters faced a myriad of dangers at every turn. They battled harsh weather conditions, treacherous terrain, and encounters with predatory wildlife. Yet, despite all these risks, they pushed forward, their determination fueled by sheer willpower and a desire to conquer the unknown.

During their expeditions, the long hunters encountered various indigenous tribes, sometimes establishing mutually beneficial relationships and other times facing fierce resistance. The interactions between these groups shaped the landscape of the westward frontier, establishing trade routes, forming alliances, and forever altering the course of history.

Forging a Path for a Nation

The contributions of the long hunters were invaluable in shaping the destiny of the United States. They opened up new lands for settlements, discovered invaluable resources, and paved the way for future explorations.

One of the most renowned long hunters, Daniel Boone, played a pivotal role in the expansion of America. His exploration and settlement of Kentucky opened up the gateway to the west, setting into motion a series of events that would lead to the creation of a nation spanning from coast to coast.

The Legacy Lives On

The legacy of the long hunters lives on in the folklore and traditions of the American frontier. Their stories have inspired countless generations to embrace the spirit of adventure and pursue their dreams fearlessly.

Today, as we reflect on the past, we honor the bravery, resilience, and tenacity of these long-forgotten heroes. Their daring expeditions and unwavering determination serve as a reminder that the pursuit of a better future often requires venturing into the unknown.

Discovering the Wilderness

If you are enraptured by the tales of the long hunters and yearn to experience the wilderness firsthand, there are still pockets of pristine landscapes waiting to be explored. National parks, such as Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Great Smoky Mountains, offer glimpses into the untamed beauty that once captivated those intrepid explorers.

Set in 1750's Pennsylvania, INTO THE WILDERNESS depicts life in the Allegheny Mountains and the Northeast at the beginning of the French and Indian War. Noah Wilde is a "long hunter," a man who hunts game for settlements and forts and is sometimes gone for months at a time.

Sixteen-year-old Jessica Matthews is attacked by Ottawa Indians and is saved by Noah, who is wounded in the encounter. As Noah recovers at Jessica's mountain cabin, he and Jessica fall in love, but Noah, who is secretly spying for the English government, has a mission to fulfill and is forced to leave once he recovers.

Noah's role in an earlier French versus English battle forces his imprisonment, and he is unable to return to Jessica in time to save her and her family from an Indian attack that leaves her parents and brother dead and sees Jessica captured by Delaware Indians.

After his release, Noah is sent on a new mission with a young George Washington, and when he discovers what happened to Jessica, he leaves to search for her. He once again risks his life to free her.

Although Noah and Jessica are fictitious characters, INTO THE WILDERNESS is filled with real history, characters, and adventures that depict the courage and determination necessary for the birth and growth of the United States of America.
