1777 American Revolution, New York State. Fictionalized story based on historic events. Told alternating between 14 year old Samuel Russell, a Quaker and pacifist, who wishes to protect his family, and 14 year old Stands Tall, an Abenaki who, along with his uncle, is scouting for the British. When the two characters come into contact, the outcome is different from what either one had been expecting.

An interesting story. I wish it were a little bit longer.
