Summary: Life and Times of Robert Flint - A wonderful book
Comment: As I am reading this book, I am taken back to a time of hope and courage. The characters of this book are well developed and the reader becomes attached to them immediately. The history of New York is often overlooked, however David Flint provides the reader with a fascinating view of this significant period.

Summary: A great read!
Comment: In the spirit of "Drums Along the Mohawk" this is a story of settlers in the Mohawk Valley of New York State during the American Revolution. But unlike "Drums.." it is broader in its historical scope, also taking in the period before and during the French and Indian War. The book chronicles the adventures of Robert Flint and his two friends, Ben Wells and Coppernol, a Mohawk Indian Chief and their families as they strive to build their lives in the hamlet of Sprout Brook. The graphic depictions of bloody events such as the Battle of Oriskany and the Cherry Valley Massacre are balanced by the warmth of the relationship among the three main characters.

Like any good book, the author has portrayed characters that you become attached to and as you get near the end of the book you don't want it to end.

David Flint has obviously written from his heart, not only because he loves Colonial history, particularly in the Mohawk Valley, but also because he is writing about his ancestor.

Interestingly, I grew up just a couple of houses away from him and we spent time together as kids, but I haven't seen him in well over 30 years.

This book is a must for anyone interested in Colonial times, the French and Indian War, the American Revolution and the history of the Mohawk Valley. I'm anxiously awaiting David's next book!
