RedFraggle	Posted - March 20 2011 : 11:44:10 PM Has anyone read any good (or, for that matter, bad) historical fiction set during the F&I War? JFC's Leatherstocking series is an obvious choice, and I've read most of it. Any other recommendations?

BookwormMG	Posted - March 25 2011 : 08:06:45 AM Hervey Allen, a Pennsylvania writer, wrote three novels set in the F&I period: "The Forests and the Fort," "Bedford Village," and "Toward the Morning": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hervey_Allen If your library has culled them because nobody has read them in ages, there are cheap used copies available through Amazon (probably those same culled copies). I don't claim to have read these. I started one and found it pretty slow and dull, but if you've read Cooper, you clearly have more stick-with-it-ness than I do!

BookwormMG	Posted - March 22 2011 : 10:49:43 PM I really liked "The White" by Deborah Larsen. It's a novel based on the life of Mary Jemison, who was taken captive by the Shawnee and adopted by the Seneca.
Wilderness Woman	Posted - March 21 2011 : 1:42:57 PM "Shadowbrook" Beverly Swerling Good writer -- good book "Northwest Passage" Kenneth Roberts You can't get much better than Kenneth Roberts! Glorious! "The Red Heart" The story of Frances Slocum, captive. James Alexander Thom Good writer -- good book "The Widow's War" Sally Gunning Not about the war, per se, but takes place during that time. Very well-crafted story.
