Northwest Passage
From the front flap of this 709 page John Jakes reprint of this 1936 classic title: "'Northwest Passage' is a timeless classic written by one of America's finest historical novelists, Kenneth Roberts. Set during the French and Indian wars, Roberts tells the tale of the charismatic Major Rogers who, in his campaigns against the St. Francis tribes, proved himself one of the greatest of all Indian fighters. In equally scrupulous detail, we also see the starstruck Langdon Towne who, to escape trouble at Harvard, flees to Crown Point and enters General Armherst's army. At Crown Point he joins Rogers' Rangers, leaving the girl he loves and his old life behind. His career and Rogers' are intertwined from that point. Yet, Towne rises above adversity, while Rogers is crushed beneath it. Seen to the end through Towne's eyes, Rogers becomes a figure out of a Greek tragedy. And Towne is also a memorable figure, gathering to himself the strength that made New England the spearpoint of the colonies."
