The Buffalo Trace: A Hallie Mae Edson Indiana Ranger Story

By Larry D. Sweazy

Sixteen-year-old Hallie Mae Edson jumps at the chance to join the Indiana Rangers and prove she's as good at shootin' and huntin' as any boy in the Territory. Things go great for Hallie until Abagail Peterson, her rival for Will McIntyre's affection, goes missing and Hallie is left on the Buffalo Trace on her own to find the girl. The adventure tests all of Hallie Mae's survival skills, especially when she comes face to face with a trio of marauding Frenchmen who are determined to fan the flames of a war brewing between the settlers and the Indians.

The Indiana Rangers, also known as The Indiana Territorial Rangers, were a militia formed by Governor William Henry Harrison in 1807 after the Larkin family was attacked by Indians as they traveled the Buffalo Trace. Well-trained men and women made up the three divisions depicted in this story. The Rangers protected the Buffalo Trace for eight years. They were disbanded in 1815, a year before Indiana became a state, at the end of the War of 1812.
