Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical novel set during the mid-18th century amidst the frontier settlements in Western Pennsylvania. It tells the story of Gilbert Frasier, an Irish immigrant, whose search for a better life lands him in the wilds of America. His misfortunes see him, his wife, and their young children being taken captive by a group of Indians and marched through unforgiving terrain to a settlement on the banks of the Allegheny River. Gilbert and his family are treated with varying levels of cruelty by their captors, but through a fortunate set of circumstances that involve the author's fictionalization of historical events, they are eventually taken under the protection of Queen Alliquippa, a revered Native American leader. The author's compelling narrative explores the themes of family, identity, and the clash between different cultures during a tumultuous time in American history. Throughout the trials of the frontier and the complexities of living between two worlds, the novel paints a vivid picture of the lives of the early settlers and their struggle to survive and establish their lives in the New World.
