In the amber glow of an early autumn evening, the Ohio frontier stretches out in a tapestry of forest, river and mist. Three travelers make their way through the uncharted woods, and one of them is the legendary frontiersman Simon Kenton, a figure whose name is woven into the very foundation of the region. Tall, wiry, and as swift as a panther, Kenton moves with the confidence of a seasoned hunter, his keen eyes and sharp ears missing nothing in the rustle of leaves or the call of distant birds.
As the trio follows the winding Hocking River, the quiet of the wilderness is tinged with the distant drums of the Miami and Shawnee peoples who call these lands home. Kenton’s seasoned instincts keep him alert, his heavy rifle slung across his shoulder, ready for any surprise the forest may conceal. Listeners will soon be drawn into his encounters with rival warriors, uneasy alliances, and the rugged challenges of a world where every shadow could hide danger or opportunity.
