Sinopse

The Plains of Abraham by James Oliver Curwood is a historical novel set in the latter half of the 18th century in New France, now part of Canada. The protagonist, Daniel "James" Bulain, son of a French habitant and an English schoolmaster's daughter, experiences a life-altering tragedy when his family and the people of a neighboring seigneurie are massacred by a Mohawk war party. In his subsequent escape into the wilderness, James is united with his childhood love, Toinette Tonteur, daughter of the local seigneur, when they are captured by a Seneca war party and taken to their hidden village. They are eventually adopted into the tribe. After their first winter with the Senecas, James believes Toinette has been killed and escapes to join the French forces under Montcalm.

    As Alice learns the tricks of the pick-pocketer, the best ways to charm the stallholders on the market and the skills to get by, the two children become firm friends. So, when BJ makes a fatal mistake, Alice can’t bear the thought that she might lose her only friend – forever…

    Set in 1884, Hell on the Border tells the story of Deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves at the peak of his historic career. Famous for being a crack shot as well as for his nonviolent tendencies, Reeves uses his African American race to his strategic advantage. Along with a tramp or cowboy disguise, Reeves appears so nonthreatening that he often positions himself close enough to the outlaws he is pursuing to arrest them without bloodshed. 
     
     
     
    After a series of heroic feats of capturing and killing infamous outlaws—most notably Jim Webb—and an introduction to Belle Starr, Reeves finds himself in the Fort Smith jail, charged with murder. This second book in the Bass Reeves Trilogy investigates what really happened when Reeves made the greatest mistake of his life on the heels of his greatest achievements.
