This is a tale of the war of 1812. Jack Morgan a manly frontier boy and a stout son of the border is the central figure of this stirring story which deals with the war on land and water along Lake Erie between American soldiers sailors and frontiersmen on one side and the British and Indians on the other. It describes General Harrison's defence of Fort Meigs and Major Croghan's brilliant repulse of the British at Fort Stephenson, Terry's wonderful victory on Lake Erie and Harrison's triumph over Proctor and Tecumseh at the battle of the Thames. In all these historic events, Jack Morgan bears a prominent part along with his father the farmer-frontiersman, his brave and loving mother, John Waller a typical scout, Pohig, Perry's Indian follower, and other men and women of the frontier the army and the fleet. The story is full of Indians, soldiers, and sailors, adventure, fighting, and courage, and is a splendid boy's story of action thrown against a notable historical background.

This book is an exact, high-definition copy of the 1901 print version of the book. Unlike other e-copies of the book, it is not a transcription, which may be full of typographic errors.
"Exact" means that if the print version has any inscriptions or previous owner's name in the front of the book, so, too, will this e-book; blank pages that often separate chapters will be left in; and, any pages that may have a folded corner or other, similar factor will be present, too.
In other words, no changes have been made to either the illustrations or the text.
