It is 1796. The young government of the United States is desperately trying to preserve a precarious peace within and around its fragile borders. David MacGregor, a rugged frontiersman with a taste for adventure, has just received special assignment as Indian agent to north Georgia. MacGregor reports for duty at Fort Lynch with his loyal Tuscarora guide, Takey, at his side, and embarks on the most exciting journey of his life.
The Ball Game for Georgia follows MacGregor and Takey as they encounter a rich array of Cherokees and Creeks, all struggling to define their identity and territory in this new era of European settlement and colonial government. MacGregor's courange and keen diplomatic insight teamed with Takey's skills in the wild take them to the center of the conflict, where they must fight for their very lives in an ancient ritual to decide their fate. Captivating and suspenseful, L.D. Carter's historically accurate story will entertain and enlighten readers of all ages.
