Well researched, with a wealth of information, and an extensive bibliography, this book is suitable for the interested amateur and the serious student. An interesting introduction to the subject. There were only one or two small niggles – there are no maps, which I feel would be helpful for those unfamiliar with the areas mentioned, and also I think a glossary of relevant terms would help as well.

bit repetitive very detailed historical work - would have to be extremely into the subject matter (research-like) to read the full length.

Interesting account of maroon activities and settlements in the so-called US based on historical records.
The writing isn't very engaging, but it's informative and I can only imagine how much time and effort went into researching this little known history.
The fact that the author was able to piece together so many individual stories is amazing.

History at the margins can really tell you a lot about what was happening down in the roots of a society.
