Produktbeschreibung
On the trail of Pontiac or the pioneer boys of the Ohio presents a vivid exploration of the uncertainties and struggles faced by those living on the frontier during a period of upheaval. Against a backdrop of untamed wilderness, the novel examines how families strive for peace while confronting the lingering effects of war and the tension between settlers and Indigenous communities. A moment in the snowy woods, where two young cousins reflect on hardship and survival, frames a deeper commentary on resilience and the weight of history. Through this brief scene, the story highlights the fragile balance between hope and fear that defined life at the edge of a changing world. The pursuit of security and harmony is constantly threatened by the forces of conflict and misunderstanding. The work enhances the complexity of frontier life by capturing both the physical challenges and the emotional toll of seeking stability where none is guaranteed. It is a thoughtful portrayal of perseverance in the face of uncertainty.
Autorenporträt
Roy Rockwood was a pseudonym used by Edward Stratemeyer and the Stratemeyer Syndicate for a variety of adventure books, especially those targeting young boys. The name is most notably remembered for the Bomba the Jungle Boy series, which became one of the popular titles under this pen name. Edward L. Stratemeyer, the mastermind behind the Syndicate, was an American publisher and a prolific writer of children's fiction. Born on October 4, 1862, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Stratemeyer founded the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a publishing company that produced a remarkable volume of children's books. Throughout his career, Stratemeyer wrote or oversaw the production of over 1,300 books, with total sales exceeding 500 million copies worldwide. His work includes famous series such as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Stratemeyer's ability to create enduring series was central to his success, and his influence in children's literature remains substantial. He passed away on May 10, 1930, at the age of 67 in Newark, New Jersey, and is buried at Evergreen Cemetery & Crematory in Hillside, New Jersey. His daughter, Harriet Adams, later took over his legacy, continuing the Syndicate's work.
