Description

Hugh McNeal was stationed at Ft. Massac on the Ohio River, when he heard of the expedition in search of a NW passage to the Pacific. “We’ll go where no white man has gone before,” the captain said. “We need men who know the rivers, who can shoot rapids, who can sail.” Hugh was 18 & ready to trade the boredom of the fort for the excitement of this wilderness. The westward journey into unknown territory was filled with danger, & for Hugh there was the surprising intro. to the Native Amer. Priv. McNeal’s name is listed among the members of the Lewis & Clark exped., but little else is known about him. Bohner has imagined the part he might have played in that journey & has created a fast-paced novel that captures the spirit of a heroic episode in Amer. history.
