Description: Here are eight stories from master American writers of the nineteenth century. They vary from sinister tales by Ambrose Bierce – why is that window boarded up? – and a reflective moment in the life of a woman without children, forced to look after children, to classic short stories by O. Henry and Stephen Crane. There is even an elegiac description of an eclipse by James Fenimore Cooper, author of The Last of the Mohicans. Read with sensitivity and skill by Garrick Hagon and Liza Ross.

Description: A rousing adventure of the early American frontier during the French-Indian War, thundering with battles, attacks, escapes, rescues – even romance. Hawkeye, the quintessential frontier man, and his two Mohican companions rescue two English women kidnapped by Hurons allied to the French. The women's recapture sets off an Indian war. A classic.
