		Eckert concludes the prologue with these words: "It was strange that in this period of development, when empires and governments were being established, when civilization was carving its way into the raw Canadian wilderness, the greatest problem of the MacDonald family should center around this six-year-old son" (xiv).
		Eckert's novel is designed to look like historical fiction, an inventive but otherwise accurate chronicle of a bizarre "incident." It is set in 1870, in a small farming community about twenty miles north of Winnipeg.
		Eckert shares many facts about badgers along the way; we learn, for instance, that badgers belong to the weasel family, and that the typical gestation period for badgers is six to eight weeks.

		Like Kenton, Tecumseh was the paragon of his people's virtues, and the story of his life, in Allan Eckert's hands, reveals most profoundly the grandeur and the tragedy of the American Indian.
		No less importantly, The Frontiersmen is the story of wilderness America itself, its penetration and settlement, and it is Eckert's particular grace to be able to evoke life and meaning from the raw facts of this story.
		Just one caveat: if you read scholarly books on this period, you will realize that Eckert has, as Huckleberry Finn would say, told some "stretchers." Much of what you read in Eckert's books is true, but despite claims to the contrary, much of it is fiction and folklore.
