Description

In 1754, a sudden attack in Charlestown, New Hampshire, shatters the peace. Young Miriam Willard finds herself caught up in the chaos of the French and Indian War, forced to march through the forest with her companions. The journey is gruelling, with each step bringing new challenges: finding food, crossing icy streams, and facing an uncertain future. As Miriam's thoughts turn to her sweetheart Phineas Whitney, who is on his way to Harvard, she also hears the cries of her baby sister, Captive, born on the trail. The group finally reaches Montreal, a city of shifting loyalties and intrigue. There, Miriam meets the prominent Du Quesne family, introducing her to a life she never imagined. Based on an actual narrative diary published in 1807, this book skillfully reenacts an absorbing facet of history, bringing to life the experiences of those caught up in one of America's most significant conflicts.
