Summary "The Masters of the Peaks: A Story of the Great North Woods" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a novel likely written during the early 20th century, drawing on themes pertinent to the historical context of the French and Indian War. The story revolves around key characters including Robert Lennox, Tayoga, a young Onondaga warrior, and David Willet, a skilled hunter, as they navigate the challenges of survival and their mission in the treacherous wilderness. At the start of the novel, the three characters brace themselves against the cold winds of autumn while contemplating the changing beauty of the wilderness. They are on a scouting mission following a recent victory, but dangers abound from both the French and Native American forces. As they seek refuge from the chill and plan their next moves, Tayoga’s keen senses hint at an impending threat. The opening establishes a vivid and immersive atmosphere, highlighting themes of camaraderie, nature's majesty, and the perilous stakes of their venture as they face their enemies while trying to remain undetected in the harsh landscape.
