Fear, running, fighting, and screaming are all part of a dangerous rescue in anytime period, but even more so in the colonial days of New England. As a new nation was born in 1776, the unbridled frontier was the 13 original states and New York was on the edge of the unknown. Pioneers cut through the dense forest of these states to create farmland to grow their crops, livestock, and families. Native Americans roamed the land as they did for thousands of years, while fearful foreigners changed the face of the natives ancestral home. Some natives attempted to adjust and co-exist with the new strangers, while others rebelled against the forced change through fighting for what was truly theirs. Remote towns blossomed as Eastern commerce grew and the ancient cultural practice of adoption ones enemies or "carried off," by the natives, only increased fear in the new white foe. This fictitious story gives a glimpse of such an adoption of an Italian Bride.
