""Charles Killbuck: An Indian's Story of the Border Wars of the American Revolution"" is a historical account written by Francis C. Huebner. The book tells the story of Charles Killbuck, a Native American warrior who fought on the side of the British during the American Revolution. Killbuck belonged to the Delaware tribe, which was divided in its loyalties during the war. The book describes Killbuck's experiences as he participated in various battles and skirmishes in the Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes region. It also explores the complex relationships between the Native American tribes and the British and American forces, as well as the impact of the war on the indigenous communities.
