The Masters of the Peaks is a historical fiction novel written by Joseph A. Altsheler. The story is set in the early 1800s in the Appalachian Mountains, where the protagonist, Henry Ware, and his friends are on a mission to stop a group of Native Americans from attacking American settlers.

They must use their skills and wits to survive and complete their mission. Along the way, Henry falls in love with Nay, but their relationship is complicated by their cultural differences and the ongoing conflict between their people.The novel explores themes of friendship, loyalty, love, and the clash of cultures. It also provides a glimpse into the history and culture of the Appalachian Mountains and the Native American tribes that inhabited the area. The Masters of the Peaks is a thrilling adventure story that will appeal to readers of all ages.The Owl, with his warriors and captive, descended in time into the low country in the northwest. They, too, had been on snowshoes, but now they discarded them, since they were entering a region in which little snow had fallen, the severity of the weather abating greatly. Robert was still treated well, though guarded with the utmost care. The Indians, who seemed to be from some tribe about the Great Lakes, did not speak any dialect he knew, and, if they understood English, they did not use it. He was compelled to do all his talking with the Owl who, however, was not at all taciturn.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
