An historical narrative that flows quickly and wows the reader with adventure... real adventure that happened here!

There were a lot of events going during the 1770's that amazes you that the revolution occurred and was successful. I've visited many revolutionary war historical sites and am insterested in this period of our history, but was somewhat ignorant of the political intriques, boundary disputes and other challenges for the new nation that were going on concurrently to the revolution. This story is a great gap filler.

There's great accounts of the struggles between the white settlers and Shawnee nation. One group fighting to create a new home and one fighting to save their homes. Righteous cruelty??????? I think not, but emotions motivate poor decisions.

I've thoroughly enjoyed this novel and am eager to read the rest of the series.
