Review:

"Should be welcomed by readers of the genre." --"Kirkus Reviews"

"A unique perspective to the War of 1812. . . . Aside from publicizing this little-known incident, the novel also fleshes out what daily life was like with an afterword that helps separate fact from fiction." --"Library Media Connection"
