About this story
You play Duncan Heyward, escorting Major Munro's two daughters to their father at the lake — and the Huron guide the commander recommended, Magua, says he knows a forest path that saves miles. No map marks it. Cora notices he never once looks back to see whether you are still behind him. Once the wagons pass, no escort can be spared to fetch you back.
Who you’ll meet
Alice Munro and her elder sister Cora, the two travellers you are escorting north, and Magua, the Huron guide who has not once looked back to see whether they are following.
