I agree with Laurel Rain-Snow that the abusive tone is hard to take, but does make me want to know what is going on. What's the "leash of gold" all about?

The turn of the 18th-19th centuries was a tough time in North America, as the Spanish from the south, the English from the north, and the Americans from the east continued the relentless push to either convert Native peoples to "civilization" or to destroy them. Even though it's not a "happy" story and plunks the reader down into an unfamiliar culture, I am so pleased you liked the book, Sandra! I hope anyone else who picks up a copy is rewarded by my historical novel.Alethea Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11574664007562694183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993930617464275848.post-88731364678106856912016-12-30T07:07:35.258-08:002016-12-30T07:07:35.258-08:00This sounds interesting and not an area I know muc...This sounds interesting and not an area I know much about.
