Caleb's Crossing: A Novel review
Posted : 9 years, 7 months ago on 6 May 2015 05:21 (A review of Caleb's Crossing: A Novel)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.
