This book is a great book; I loved it and would recommend it to anyone who loves history and the relations with the native peoples. After the indians maccacred most of her family she was kidnapped along with her 2 small boys, and she was ready to deliver a new babe herself. The horrors she endured in captivity and to get back to her husband were absolutely unbelievable. You will never believe the incredible courage, endurance and fortitude it took her to get back by following the rivers back to her home. She almost dies many times. I love James Thom; his books are so well written and throughly researched. "Long Knife" was another of my favorites. There's no way I'm passing it on to anyone but my family and friends.
