This page carries chapter 32 of The fort in the wilderness by Edward Stratemeyer exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 157 sentences, grouped into 32 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces.

How do I study chapter 32 of The fort in the wilderness?

Work through the 32 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 32 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 32 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 32 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.

THE LAST FIGHT--CONCLUSION The battle of Bushy Run was so disastrous to the Indians that many of them fled to parts unknown immediately after the results of the conflict were ascertained.

They lost several hundred in killed and wounded, and among the number were a half a dozen well-known chiefs.

But though he had been victorious, Colonel Bouquet had suffered a heavy loss, consequently he continued on his march to Fort Pitt with as great caution as before.

Eight officers and one hundred and fifteen men had fallen, and it was a sad body of troops that wended its way through the wilderness.

Barringford and Rodney were very downhearted over the disappearance of Dave, and hoped hour by hour that he would reappear.
