The Great Land Grab
Claimed by both Virginia and Pennsylvania for years, Western Pennsylvania was the stage for one of the most hostile land battles in early American history. Characters from Hossler's previous book, The Summer of 1763, return in this story to fight for their families and the preservation of their way of life. The native Indians of the territory struggle to maintain the property rights given to them by the English crown in 1763. And wealthy political figures orchestrate a plan to confiscate both the settlers and Indians of their land. All parties converge upon the prize that is now Western Pennsylvania. Rife with bribery, deception, stealing, political intrigue, battle, and pioneer spirit, The Great Land Grab brings this territorial struggle to life.
