"The Hunters of the Hills" is the first volume of a series
dealing1 with the great struggle of France and England and their colonies for
dominion2 in North America, culminating with the fall of Quebec. It is also concerned to a large extent with the Iroquois, the
mighty3 league known in their own language as the Hodenosaunee, for the favor of which both French and English were high
bidders4. In his treatment of the theme the author has consulted many authorities, and he is not conscious of any historical error.
