Carrier-of-Bones

Toward the end of the French and Indian War in 1761, when England and France are battling for a continent, Pierre takes his son and his son's friend with him to return the remains of his wife and child to the family graveyard in Acadie, Canada. When Pierre dies along the way, his son, Jean-Claude, promises to finish the journey. His friend Louis agrees to go with him.

The two boys are changed forever by their experiences in the wilderness as death stalks them along the way. At the end, if they survive, they must face the wrath of a vengeful Seneca warrior who swears to kill them for what they did to his brother.
