About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of THE YOUNG TRAILERS: A STORY OF EARLY KENTUCKY, by JOSEPH ALTSHELER. Read by Adam E. Maroney. This is the story of Henry Ware, a young boy living in the wilds of the Kentucky frontier of the 1700's. The story follows Henry as he helps to establish a frontier outpost, is captured by an Indian tribe, and ultimately ensures the safety and security of a band of settlers against the warring Shawnee Indians. The Young Trailers is action packed and brings to life the adventures that awaited the early settlers as they traversed into the endless forests of the American frontier. (Summary by Adam E. Maroney)
