Wonderful history of early America as well as a biography of my 5th great grandmother Phebe Tucker Cunningham. I do wish that the author could have included more about what happened to her during her three years of captivity but if the primary sources are not available, the information has simply been lost to time. Excellent sense of time with Phebe's story centered within the broader context of political, military and social history.
