"The Hunters of the Hills" is the first volume of a series dealing withthe great struggle of France and England and their colonies for dominionin North America, culminating with the fall of Quebec. It is alsoconcerned to a large extent with the Iroquois, the mighty league knownin their own language as the Hodenosaunee, for the favor of which bothFrench and English were high bidders. In his treatment of the theme theauthor has consulted many authorities, and he is not conscious of anyhistorical error.
