Caleb's Crossing: A Novel review
![](https://pthumb.lisimg.com/image/productsus/140/0670021040/books/0670021040.jpg)
This was a fascinating book about the European-Native American encounters in 17th century New England. Brooks does a great job fleshing out the characters and giving a sense of what could have been if Caleb had survived.
