I absolutely adored this collection. I am both shocked and in awe that most of these stories aren't common knowledge, praised to high heavens, and that fiction authors haven't been all over the massive opportunities for some amazing historical fiction based on inspiring and harrowing people and times. I can't say I'm shocked to learn of some of the atrocities happening up to just past the war of 1812, but it is still incredibly hard to hear reality. All the more reason I wish these voices were heard by so many more and mourn all those we have no record of.
