Blood on the Allegheny

A Ranger’s Tale

By: Kevin Grote

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the tumultuous wake of the 1746 Battle of Culloden, a Jacobite exile flees a broken Scotland to seek sanctuary in the New World. Arriving in the bustling chaos of Philadelphia in 1750, he finds himself a reluctant immigrant, his soldier's past a source of bitter shame. But as tensions rise between the British and French empires over control of the Ohio Country, a new opportunity arises. Recruited to join the newly formed Pennsylvania Rangers, he is thrust onto the savage American frontier.

This is a world of brutal survival, where loyalties are tested, and the rules of Old World warfare hold little sway. From the skirmishes at Jumonville Glen and the disastrous defeat at Fort Necessity, to the harrowing campaign against the renegade Kettlefoot and the brutal realities of Braddock's defeat and the later Pontiac's War, he must confront not only the French and their Native American allies, but also the ghosts of his past. Blood on the Allegheny is a sweeping tale of a man's fight to forge a new identity, find purpose amidst chaos, and survive on the razor's edge of a war that will ultimately reshape a continent.
