I'm in the small privileged group who has read Pat's Mohawk Legacy and the lady knows her stuff. Hey, we never made it anywhere for the French/Indian War events yet--maybe next year a field trip is in order!<br /><br />Wonderful, Pat!<br />I have been to Brantford, Ontario for a Mohawk gathering.

The novel I set there is after the war, in 1784, but echoes of this battle still haunt some of the characters who were there, who lost loved ones, who were forever scarred by it. Thanks for this post. It's a part of history I wish I'd known about long ago, but better late than never, I say. :)<br /><br />And Lori Bentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714197239425827339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-6621814505170375062011-08-17T21:19:34.325-04:002011-08-17T21:19:34.325-04:00Hi Carrie!

Wondered how far back you've been able to go with tracing your ancestors....isn't that something when you know their stories and the hardships they've gone through? It makes me wonder sometimes the legacy we'll vbe leaving for our descendants; I don't think mine will hold a candle to some of the things mine have suffered!

Abraham Rosencrantz and his wife Maria (popular name, apparently :) during the French and Indian War, and later with Rev. Sam Kirkland (Scottish)& his family during the Rev.
