Salt: A Story of Friendship in a Time of War by Helen Frost

3.0

This was a hard topic to read about. The book is set in 1812 and is about the friendship between James, whose family lives near Fort Wayne in the Indiana Territory and Anikwa, a member of the Miami Tribe who has lived on that land for centuries. Their friendship is genuine but when the war between the American and British armies comes to their home, friendship may not be enough. While the story focus on one battle it is hard to enjoy the story knowing that things are not going to end well with in the long term for the Miami Tribe or any Native American Tribe. This is an educational historical fiction book but not a happy time in our nation's history.
