Life on the frontier is brutal. An account of a captive settler getting cooked alive and a prisoner getting scalped and flayed, staying alive for a full day after,made me close the book for the day. For Shawnee, life of the mid 1700s is marked by constant migration amid encroachment by expansionist Iroquois and border wars with American settlers. The Quakers were chill but ineffective at curbing the spread of rum.
