Summary

"Ten years have passed since the Great Awakening swept like a holy fire from Massachusetts to Georgia, touching the souls of colonists as well as many Native Americans. Follow Christopher "Longshot" Long, Caleb Hobomucko, and Conestoga Joe as they journey from New England to the Ohio in the mid-1750s. The characters are real people whose stories were first told in journals, diaries, books, and the town records of New England colonists. Author mark Ammerman paints a rich and contrasting portrait of men seeking to understand their new relationships with God, with each other, and with cultures determined to clash.Historical notes and a glossary enrich the reading experience!"
