A review by lesley
Puritan Girl, Mohawk Girl by John Putnam Demos

2.0

This is a rare venture into middle grade fiction for me and I love reading about the psychology and history of captive children taken in raids by Native Americans...maybe it's because of a family legend about my great great great grandfather on the Texas side who made up his own white name after being raised by Native Americans after a wagon train raid. Whether that story has any truth or not who knows but this one does. Demos is a nonfiction writer and this reads like nonfiction. Unfortunately it is a bit dry with a lot of interesting historical information but not much feeling. It could have been more.
