The only thing I could be critical of in this book is due to personal preferance.  I just don't read books that deal with Indian affairs I am unable to tolerate the violence in them by either parties. Having said that, this book was 3/4 Indian War affairs and 1/4 romance. I still managed to enjoy it since I skipped over the parts that were too much for me.  The historicl information in this book was alone worth the read I learned so much.Summary In A Nutshell:Location:  1754 Southwestern PennsylvaniaRebecca Scott/Little Cloud (now age 17)was captured originally at age 9 by the Caughnawagas tribe the Lenape recaptured her three years ago on a raid. She was raised as a daughter to a widow Snow Woman when her own child had passed away. She was a beautiful good person and readily accepted by the tribe.Daniel Chamberlain/Lokwalend (age 27?) a white fur trader running away from his high society family to prove himself was a frequent visitor/trader to the Lenape.They both fall for eachother but are forever being seperated due to Daniels war involvment. Daniel becomes a scout and very vocal in Indian affairs so they are at odds as she is torn between by her two cultures.This is basically their story with indepth descriptions of the local uprisings at a Fort (sorry can't remember or find the name of it)and how the English and French both want control.I would have paid $4 and been quite happy with my decision so was very happy to read it free.  Enjoy
