During the War of 1812, incursions by the British on American soil had resulted in the burning of towns, the loss of property, and the impoverishment of citizens. On the Niagara frontier, this included the village of Buffalo which was nearly burned to the ground on Dec. 30, 1813. In a letter written by members of the Committee of Safety and Relief at Canandaigua on Jan. 8, 1814, it was reported that "Niagara county, and that part of Genesee which lies west of Batavia, are completely depopulated. All the settlements in a section of country forty miles square and which contained more than twelve thousand souls, are effectually broken up. Our roads are filled with people, many of whom have been reduced from a state of competence and good prospects, to the last degree of want and sorrow." [see: Louis Babcock's book "The War of 1812 on the Niagara Frontier," (Buffalo, NY: 1927), pp.253-4] These "Niagara sufferers" were among the citizens of several states, who petitioned the federal government for redress of losses suffered during the conflict. President Madison and Congress responded by establishing an Office of Claims in 1816, with Richard Bland Lee as its adminstrator "to solicit claims, appraise lost property, adjudicate cases, and award restitution." According to a "Report of the Committee of Claims on the petition of the inhabitants of Niagara county, New York, sufferers by the enemy during the last war," dated Jan. 15, 1821, and submitted to Congress, these same "sufferers," in anticipation of federal relief, began in 1816 to apply for loans from a newly established bank in the village of Buffalo. These citizens "being at that time in great want of means to rebuild their houses, and repair their devastated estates, were induced to apply to this bank for loans of money for that purpose, and which loans they generally obtained, by giving mortgages on their farms, accompanied by honorary engagements that they should be repaid out of the moneys received by them under the law for thei. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Have you ever wanted to be alone, to drop out of your day, to shout, "Leave me alone!" and disappear into the wilderness? Have you ever wanted to get away from the hurtful people around you for a while? Maybe even make a lifestyle of it? Live off the land, subsist by your own will? Can you imagine being so angry, so hurt by society, that you turn your back, and live in exile for 16 years? In Wretched Refuge, Cassie has been hurt just so. Grievously hurt. So she hides away, loses contact, fends for herself. She subsists by trapping and growing almost everything she needs, minimizing her contact with the outside world. But she is at a turning point. Self-sufficiency is not easy. The days are long and exhausting. And deep down, she is lonely. Still angry, still hurt, but lonely. So what's a woman to do? She makes overtures, reconnects with a chosen few, and lures them to her refuge beside the Tar River. She makes her own little society, with its own rules. Vindictive, perhaps, in that she lures away the husbands of the women who wronged her. But still a refuge. Of course, it cannot stay a sanctuary for long. In the end, one has to question both Cassie's motives and her whole interpretation of the sixteen years of events, as she has taken on the world with Unabomber attitude and a Snow White touch.
