Erskine Dale—Pioneer
is an epic of our Colonial and Revolutionary days, full of the adventure and romance of the beginnings of Kentucky and Virginia. John Fox, Jr., closes his series of novels of American life with a tale of the origin of the people celebrated in his mountain stories. Erskine Dale, raised among the Indians though of Virginia blue blood, is a romantic figure of the Cooper type—a companion of George Rogers Clark, a participant in the border warfare, and finally in the great Revolution itself. The heroine is the inspiration of Erskine Dale's adventurous career.
