Patti’s Reviews > The Taking of Jemima Boone: Colonial Settlers, Tribal Nations, and the Kidnap That Shaped America – A True Story of Rescue and Revenge in Revolutionary 1776 > Status Update

I've shelved this book. Can't bring myself to finish it. I give it a 2 star rating. The kidnapping of Jemima Boone and her subsequent rescue occurs fairly early in the book, all within the first 75 pages. What follows after that is incredibly boring. The book simply was not what I expected it to be. I'm used to the writings of of historian David McCullough and this author pales in comparison.
