By Elizabeth George Speare!
Early one morning in the year 1754 the stillness of Charlestown, New Hampshire, was shattered by shrill war whoops and the terrror of an Indian raid. Young Miriam Willard, on a day which had promised new happiness, found herself instead a captive on a forest trail, caught up in the ebb and flow of the French and Indian War.
It was a harrowing march north. Miriam could only force herselft to the next stopping place, the next small portion of food, the next icy stream to be crossed. What waits at the end of the trail-beside an Indian guantlet and a life of slavery?
One of my other favorite books is The Witch of Blackbird Pond! Also by Elizabeth George Speare.
