The Plains of Abraham

More about the book

A beautiful tale of life on the Eastern American frontier of the mid 1700''s in the Adirondack and Lake Champlain regions of upper New York state. "The Plains of Abraham" is based partly on a true story taken from the Pennsylvania Register of 1765, which told of a number of white women and their children who were "rescued" by British forces and returned to frontier towns. Their Indian families cried for missing them so, and the sentiments were returned to such an extent by their former "captives" that many of those women and children sneaked off in the night to rejoin their Indian families.
