Incident at Hawk’s Hill is a historical novel by Allan W. Eckert published in 1971. The story is set in 1870 on Hawk's Hill, a farm of William and Esther MacDonald, located in the Canadian Prairies about twenty miles north of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The plot centers on a six-year-old boy named Benjamin MacDonald who gets lost on the Canadian prairie and survives for two months thanks to a mother badger.
