Heart of the Lakes Publishing, 1987. Soft cover, 304 pp. [Excerpt from back cover] Frontiers Aflame is more than an historic tale of upstate New York during the Revolutionary War; it is an historical novel with all the elements of an epic film, full of the realities of daily existence which make you stop and examine your own present-day luxuries. Historically accurate. Frontiers Aflame follows the extraordinary saga of Jane Cannon Campbell and her family during the Revolutionary War. Battles with Indians and Tones; the suffering and heartbreak of friends and families separated, tortured or killed; homes and settlements destroyed; the crude and harsh conditions of the Indians and their prisoners alike-all become your personal experiences. The Revolutionary War and New York's part in it become a dramatic reality. You quickly become absorbed in the lives of the Campbells, returning again and again to the story to discover what history has dealt the family. The politics and sequence of events leading to victory for our young nation are chronicled in a spellbinding manner, leaving you with a thirst for more derails. Your steps will fall with the weary Indian prisoners; your body will fed the exhaustion of seemingly endless treks on foot; your gut will fed the emptiness of starvation; you will fed the physical and mental torment of the impossible situations which our ancestors experienced. The political undercurrents sweeping the tide of the Revolution become dear through their effects on the lives of the characters. Frontiers Aflame brings history alive, making our land suddenly more precious as you relive the struggles to tame and settle it. Open the book at any page. You will find yourself absorbed in one of the most exciting stories you have read in a while.
