Review of 'Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright' on 'Goodreads'

Outside of my field but a fascinating account of colonial times at the borders of New England and New France through the prism of women communities of Anglo-Americans, Wabanaki natives, and French Canadians. Esther Wheelwright lived through all three communities and the multiple colonial wars between the British and the French, her history in the context of History (capital H) is fascinating.
