Publisher's Summary:

Author Sam Hossler makes history come alive! This fast-paced, easy-to-read historical novel replays actual events that took place in the mid 1700s in Western Pennsylvania where the Allegheny and Monogahela rivers converge to form the Ohio. This frontier area was seething with bloody tensions as Native Americans, early pioneers, British and French agents, and trappers were engaged in a hostile battle for the land.

Hossler wrote the book after a lifetime interest in the outdoors and years of historical research. He uses dates, battles, locations, and characters from Pennsylvania's past to create a book that literally races along. Frontier at Three Rivers focuses on one small slice of history, in two segments that take place ten years apart. This fictionalized account is historically accurate, describing the bribery, deception, stealing, and political intrigue of the time as well as the atrocities and bloody battles between the warring factions.

Listeners will learn about this time in American history while feeling the unshakable pioneer spirit of the early settlers and the fierce pride of the Native Americans upon whose land this story unfolds. Frontier at Three Rivers combines two previously published books: The Summer of 1763 and The Great Land Grab.

Great Job Sam

Although a fictional novel, events in this story could well have happened. It's a story of brave men and women. History show's that the early pioneers, were a brave and tough bunch of people. Building farms out of the wilderness, exploring a new and wild country. Hardships were many in the first years of this great United States, we the people just might see more hardship as the world try's to take over. If you are a history buff of this time before the revaluation that won our freedom from a very cruel King. You will enjoy this book, the dates and the way of life, are very close to the time period. At first I thought it skipped around to different people to much. But the Author did a great job of bringing them together.

very good

I enjoy historical fiction and non-fiction. I found this to be well written, keeping the action at a pace that held my attention throughout.

A story that comes alive!

Frontier at Three Rivers by Same Hossler is another great depiction of action packed history. Set in early Pennsylvania at Three Rivers. The book is split into two parts with the first half telling the story of early settlers under attack by a band of war Indians led by Ottawa leader Chief Pontiac, who was desperate to purge the area of white settlers who were taking over his land. There's gore and blood. White settlers are tomahawked, scalped and tortured under Chief Pontiac's watchful eye. It gets so bad that a group of brave men called the Pennsylvania Rangers band together to fight the ruthless Indians. During the second half of the book it is 10 years later, Virginia starts demanding tax that the settlers can't and sometimes won't pay. There is a mini revolutionary war going on between the settlers, John Connolly who is hired by Virginia to claim the tax from the settlers, and the Native Americans who want the settlers gone and their land back. There's blood, gore, and hostile settlers everywhere. The settlers start fighting the Virginia tax, they target anyone associated with Virginia's government. No one associated with Virginia is safe.
