Peace on Rifle Ridge: A Story of the Cherokee War
Feeding his family means a bargain with the enemy.
It’s 1776, and the Cherokee War rages along the Blue Ridge frontier. Just a few months shy of muster age, Benjamin Woodbridge is doing his best to care for his young sister and ailing mother in a settlement whose fighting men have all gone west.
When a pair of Cherokee hunters save his life in a tangle with an angry bear, Benjamin accepts their offer of help in exchange for safe passage. But as tensions rise and the king’s men join Indian raiders in taking aim at Benjamin’s settlement, shifting allegiances threaten the little his family has left.
With warriors and Loyalists gathering just over the next hill, Benjamin’s only chance is a final daring stand on Rifle Ridge—and a desperate bargain with the young Cherokee he’s no longer sure he can trust.
Peace on Rifle Ridge takes place four years before Patriot at the River but can be read as a standalone.
