Frontier at Three Rivers

By Sam Hossler

Author Sam Hossler makes history come alive! This fast-paced, easy-to-read historical novel replays actual events that took place in the mid 1700s in western Pennsylvania where the Allegheny and Monogahela rivers converge to form the Ohio.


This frontier area was seething with bloody tensions as Native Americans, early pioneers, British and French agents and trappers were engaged in a hostile battle for the land.


Hossler wrote the book after a lifetime interest in the outdoors and years of historical research. He uses dates, battles, locations and characters from Pennsylvania's past to create a book that literally races along.
