Claire’s Reviews > The Stolen Village: Baltimore and the Barbary Pirates > Status Update

Although this is a history book and there is very little in the archives relating specifically to the 107/9 villagers captured, its impressive tge way the author reconstructs likely events by sharing facts pertaining yo others who went through a similar experience. It's an alternative to writing fiction, as Sally Magnusson did in The Sealwoman's Gift, of the capture of 500 Icelandic villagers by the same pirate.
