Adventures of Alexander Henry, an eyewitness survivor of the attack at Michilimackinac in June 1763. The British fur trader s journal offers a unique insight into life at the palisaded fort between 1760 and 1770.
It is a harrowing tale of being on the precipice of death for a long time, the brutality of war, and the value of friendship. It was difficult for me to get into. I put it down several times. However, once I put in the time, it started to flow for me.
This book was great. The illustrations and photos really brought it to life. It was easy to read and follow and I read it all in one sitting. It's fascinating and a solid edition to anyone's library that likes nonfiction history. I would recommend this book. 4 out of 5 stars.
