Nominated for the National Book Award, this book is set in
colonial Massachusetts where, in 1704, a French and Indian war
party descended on the village of Deerfield, abducting a Puritan
minister and his children. Although John Williams was eventually
released, his daughter horrified the family by staying with her
captors and marrying a Mohawk husband.
A masterpiece…recovering for us the poignant story of lives
and families shattered and then painfully knitted together again in
the complex cultural encounters between English, French, and Mohawk
peoples in eighteenth-century America. There is nothing quite like
it in our literature. It is a stunning achievement that should
change forever the way we write and tell stories about the American
past.–William Cronon
