The Fatal Cord and The Falcon Rover by Mayne Reid is a fun and immersive adventure following six young hunters in Arkansas. Excerpt: "A Hunters' bivouac under the shadows of a Mississippian forest, in a spot where the trees stand unthinned by the ax of the woodman. It is upon the Arkansas side of the great river, not far from the town of Helena, and in the direction of Little Rock, the capital of that State."
