"Elizabeth Sackett is abducted from her Westfield, Massachusetts home. A new life awaits her. A new family, in a different world. [This is] a balanced retelling of the 18th century wars which created New England and America out of ancient indigenous peoples' lands. The long forgotten story of Jacques Sackette/Sachette or Saksis, the Missisquoi Aenaki leader of the 19th century, whose mother was an Engalish captive from western Massachusetts, is the core of this important retelling of the formative history of western Massachusetts, Vermont, and eastern New York."--Page 4 of cover
