About this audiobook
A squeaky-voiced stranger with a limp seems an unlikely hero, but beneath the disguise lies the legendary frontiersman Seth Jones. When a family is captured by Mohawks, he drops the act to execute a rescue mission of unmatched skill. The story popularized the trope of the hidden hero, blending humor with intense forest combat. It is the definitive dime novel, mixing disguise, suspense, and frontier justice.
