Conflict at Chillicothe is an exciting story that follows the travels of a pioneer family. Settlers fear the Shawnee Indians at Chillicothe. Joshua is about to learn why. For Joshua Stewart and his family, the Kentucky frontier is their promised land. It's a fresh start away from the difficulties of Virginia. It's an opportunity to own as much land as they care to claim. It's a chance of a lifetime, a dream come true. The only problem is getting there. Will the Stewarts overcome the hardships that await them in the mountains of Pennsylvania? Will they survive the dangers of the Ohio River? And when the Shawnee Indians attack, will Joshua's faith in the Lord be enough to save him?

Submitting to peer pressure and disobeying his parents leads Joshua into deep trouble when he is kidnapped by Indians and forced to be adopted by the tribe.  Josh learns some difficult lessons in obedience, love, and faith - all wrapped up in an exciting story that boys and girls will love.
