[Gutenberg 18774] • The Sun of Quebec: A Story of a Great Crisis

• Two of American author Joseph A. Altsheler’s French and Indian War Series books are bound together in this Kindle edition: The Sun of Quebec & The Hunters of the Hills

The series consists of six novels. Each can be read as a separate book, or they may be read together in a series in the following order:

1\. The Hunters of the Hills

This is the first volume of a series dealing with the great struggle of France and England and their colonies for dominion in North America, culminating with the fall of Quebec. It is largely concerned with the Iroquois, the mighty league known in their own language as the Hodenosaunee, for which both French and English were high bidders. Altsheler notes that he consulted many authorities, and was not conscious of any historical error.

2\. The Shadow of the North

"The Shadow of the North," while an independent story, in itself, is also the second volume of the Great French and Indian War series which began with "The Hunters of the Hills." All the important characters of the first romance reappear in the second.

3\. The Rulers of the Lakes

Young Robert Lennox and his friend Tayoga undertake a dangerous trip through the wilderness to warn Fort Refuge of the approach of hostile forces. The story concludes with the battle of Lake George. The book is set almost completely in the wilderness, and provides an accurate picture of Iroquois life and warfare.

4\. The Masters of the Peaks

"The Masters of the Peaks" is a story of the great north woods and the fourth volume of the French and Indian War Series. Tayoga, Willet, and all the other important characters of the earlier romances reappear

5\. The Lords of the Wild

A Story of the Old New York Border with the backdrop of the French and Indian War: The Lords of the Wild is a complete story, following The Hunters of the Hills, The Shadow of the North, The Rulers of the Lakes, and The Masters of the Peaks. Robert Lennox, Tayoga, Willet, St. Luc, Tandakora and all the principal characters of the earlier volumes reappear.

6\. The Sun of Quebec

The mystery in the life of Robert Lennox, the central figure in all of the romances, is solved in this sixth and closing volume of the French and Indian War Series.
