Drums Along the Mohawk (New York Classics)

Walter Edmonds' "Drums Along The Mohawk" is a classic tale of Mohawk Valley's forgotten pioneers during the Revolutionary War. "Drums Along The Mohawk" is the story of Gilbert Martin and his young wife struggling against hardships almost too great to endure. They helped give to America a legend which still stirs the heart. In the midst of love and hate, life and death, danger and disaster, they stuck to the acres which were theirs, and fought a war without ever quite understanding it. "Drums Along The Mohawk"'s intimate and historical portraits are as appealing today as when they were first published in 1936. Long out of print and difficult to obtain, this Syracuse University Press edition is a welcome introduction to a whole new generation of readers.Walter D. Edmonds is the author of 'Drums Along the Mohawk (New York Classics)', published 1997 under ISBN 9780815604570 and ISBN 0815604572.
