All three of these books have been thoroughly researched and, at the end of the book, we discover than many of the events that are described in this book actually happened. The author is dedicated to passing on his knowledge about the life and warfare of these people and so there is an abundance of historical details about their culture, religion, food preparation and day-to-day life. And although the story unfolds from three different aspects, that of an Algonquin, an Anishinaabe and a Lakhota warriors, it is less a character driven story and more of a historical recreation.
I have enjoyed all three of these engaging adventure stories and I am sorry to see the trilogy come to an end. In these books the author has given us a tantalizing glimpse of the rich history of the First Nations people in an informative, colorful and fascinating manner.
