The Portage Path is a historical novel written by Peter Peterson Cherry and published in 1911. The book is set in the late 18th century in the American Midwest, during a time when European settlers were expanding westward and encountering Native American tribes. The story follows a group of characters as they navigate the treacherous Portage Path, a narrow strip of land that connects the Great Lakes to the Ohio River. The path is a crucial trade route, but it is also fraught with danger, as rival factions compete for control of the land and its resources. The novel is notable for its vivid descriptions of the natural landscape and its portrayal of the complex relationships between the different groups of people who inhabited the region at the time. The characters include both Native Americans and European settlers, and the book explores the tensions and conflicts that arose as these groups interacted with one another. Overall, The Portage Path is a richly detailed and engaging historical novel that offers a glimpse into a fascinating period of American history.
