Quoted By:
Anybody interested in North American colonial history would enjoy either or both of these accounts. They outline the history of the most devastating and culturally disruptive event in North American colonial history. But they aren't like textbooks, they go deep so you can understand all the context and step into the shoes of the colonists, pushing further into the wilderness and being faced with an almost supernaturally nightmarish foe with no regard for property, flesh, or God. The Lepore book especially digs up the details of the colonial psyche and how everything they did to make this new untamed world make sense was completely undone, to the point of almost losing all identity.
