Our tale begins in the middle of the eighteenth century, a decade after the Great Awakening has swept like holy fire throughout the colonies from Massachusetts to Georgia. The divine flame of revival has burned brightly even upon the lands of Canonicus, Miantonomi and Katanaquat, irrevocably and eternally marking an ancient people with the brand of a holy God. But some still have not bowed the knee to the Love that tirelessly pursues them. But no man can run forever, and God never sleeps.

About the Author
Mark Ammerman was blessed to be born into a literary family. For as long as he can remember, his passion was to put words and pictures together. His motivation for writing this book comes from a 300-year-old connection to one of the principal characters, Roger Williams, who is his great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. Mark, his wife Terri, and their four children live in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

This review is from: Longshot (Cross & the Tomahawk) (Paperback)
Mark Ammerman has captured a slice of time and a fascinating cast of men and women and convincingly and sensitively drawn them on a colorful canvas 300 pages long. "Longshot," Ammerman's third in the historical fiction series, "The Cross and the Tomahawk," is the best crafted of his well-researched and authentic sagas. The quick-flowing narratives follow the lives of the Narragansett Indians of Rhode Island from the time of their first encounter with the European whites to the conversion of many to Christianity, and their spiritual, physical, and societal trials and triumphs through generations of interaction with the dominant white culture. As we follow Christopher Long, Caleb Hobomucko, and Conestoga Joe from New England to the Ohio in 1750, we are treated to a slice of God's country in the mid 18th century. Ammerman has crafted an interesting array of wide-ranging characters who show the full spectrum of human strengths and foibles. He convincingly depicts the humor and pathos of diverse races and cultures interacting in both strife and individual harmony while seeking personal meaning in their own lives. The prose manages a fluid balance of period dialect while incorporating authentic Native American words and geographic place names. Historical notes, a bibliography, and glossary of terms assist the readers. This book, and the ones preceding it in the series, are entertaining, enlightening, and educational. Buy 'em and read 'em!
