Although John Williams was eventually released, his daughter horrified the family by staying with her captors and marrying a Mohawk husband.媒体推荐A masterpiece...recovering for us the poignant story of lives and families shattered and then painfully knitted together again in the complex cultural encounters between English, French, and Mohawk peoples in eighteenth-century America. There is nothing quite like it in our literature. It is a stunning achievement that should change forever the way we write and tell stories about the American past.--William Cronon
