I make a point of saying that it is from the particular era it is because there is comparatively little historical fiction set in 18th century colonial America -- most fiction from the British colonies is set earlier, in the 17th century, when things are much more raw.
In addition to the protagonist, the character of Tabitha Lovell is very sharply drawn. Read it for her and for Smith.
