Summary "The Shadow of the North: A Story of Old New York and a Lost Campaign" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical novel written during the early 20th century. This engaging tale is set against the backdrop of the French and Indian War, delving into the tumultuous relationships between various factions, including Native American tribes and colonial forces. The story prominently features characters like Tayoga, a young Onondaga warrior, and his companions Robert Lennox and the hunter David Willet, who navigate the challenges of war and loyalty amidst the forest's shadowy depths. The opening of the novel introduces Tayoga, who skillfully traverses the wilderness with the intent of pursuing an enemy warrior, Tandakora. As the narrative unfolds, readers witness Tayoga's transformation from a student of white civilization back to his warrior roots, embodying the spirit of the Onondaga. The scene shifts to Tayoga’s encounter with his friends, Robert and Willet, as they prepare to face the impending conflict with their French adversaries. The trio soon finds themselves engaged in a gripping battle for survival against multiple forces while grappling with the complexities of friendship, honor, and loyalty that define their experiences during this pivotal moment in American history.
