The Captured Bride Is a very harmonious book. One book that is jam packed with information and fun. The main character is very lively and is monumental the story is in no way mundane. The story flows and the author is respectful of the characters. She brings them straight off the pages and into your room. It is historic and enjoyable. I learned a lot. The one thing they all have in common is that they all are submissive to the LORD and they need to do that especially then- to survive. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all of the opinions expressed in this review are all my own.

Varmints Everywhere
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
Prisoner, awaiting execution is amazingly offered a chance to escape death, by going along on a long journey, posing as a family man, to get a load of gold to another fort. He is wary at first, not knowing the plans his jailers have for him. He decides to take the deal, because anything else is death.
Young maiden who was raised with the Mohawks, but lives at the fort now, working as a scout. She has exceptionally good eyesight & the general who is arranging this trek, wants her to go. She will play the wife of the prisoner. Also along will be another scout, who is like a father to the maiden, he is older than she and will play the role of father to her. The other person along is a young, lazy teenager who is good for nothing. The maiden wishes that he wasn't along, but it makes the story of a family going home, more plausible.
They encounter all sorts of varmints on the trail, 4 legged ones and 2 legged ones. The book has several twists and turns, I'll not reveal them, but encourage you to read this book.
I was furnished with this book by the publisher, Barbour. I am under no obligation to leave a review.
