| 520 | _a"The Rulers of the Lakes: A Story of George and Champlain" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the French and Indian War, the story follows young Robert Lennox and his Onondaga friend Tayoga as they embark on a perilous journey through the wilderness to warn the garrison at Fort Refuge of impending attacks from hostile forces. Along the way, they encounter fierce battles and various notable historical figures, providing a vivid depiction of life during this tumultuous conflict. The opening of the novel introduces Robert, Tayoga, and their companion Willet as they navigate the aftermath of a catastrophic battle led by General Braddock. They witness the chaos and threat posed by the French and allied Indian forces, particularly focusing on the figures of De Courcelles and Tandakora. As they decide to carry a warning to Fort Refuge, their resolve remains strong despite the overwhelming odds. Altsheler sets the stage for their adventure with rich descriptions of the landscape and the gravity of their mission, hinting at the courage and camaraderie that will be central themes throughout the book.
