I rate this so low because I wanted to read a "Historical Fiction" novel and what I got was pure fantasy. One example of poor historical research is locating the Calusa tribe nearer to St. Augustine than the Timucuan tribe. The author even seems to believe horses were abundant during that period of time. ( ) This book is a great example of historical fiction. Written by a Cherokee, the novel explores the life of a strong Cherokee woman from 1580 through the mid 1600s. (al) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ This historical novel provided a unique view of colonial history (late 1500s to mid-1600s) from two perspectives. An award winning author and poet, Conley http://www.hanksville.org/storytellers/conley/ provides a Cherokee viewpoint and the main character is a strong female leader.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)The Real People (9)
Few writers portray Native American life and history as richly, authentically, and insightfully as Robert J. Conley. Conley represents an important voice of the Cherokee past. The novels in his Real People series combine powerful characters, gripping plots, and vivid descriptions of tradition and mythology to preserve Cherokee culture and history. War Woman spans the late 1500s to mid-1600s. War Woman, a brave, headstrong, clever Cherokee, is believed by many in her town to be a witch. Having heard stories about the Spanish, and believing there is great profit to be made by trading with them, she leads a small band of youths on the treacherous road to La Florida. This journey, blessed with success and marred by terrible tragedy, marks the beginning of War Woman’s own personal journey as she leads her people by example and by guidance through terrifying times.
