[Tom Schulte · Rating 4 out of 5]

This facsimile edition is a bit hard to read and rife with the 19th Century long s. Still, it is my second time reading it and I am again taken in by the story of the young, would-be solider captured in the 1790s by "Maumee" Indians and eventually doing miles and miles of escape by foot and rivercraft.
