I loved this book. It's one that I will keep in my library. I never had that much interest in that particular historical period, but after reading about how people lived during those times (1700's) and their interactions with the indigenous Indians and the French it has spurred me to investigate my ancestors who lived in MD during this era. With scant information except for personal diaries and legal documents Putnam has managed to put together a story about one woman who was captured by Indians during a raid on Deerfield, MA and decided to stay and make a life with her captors. It was absolutely fascinating.
