   First visit the pristine beauty of the Eastern
Woodlands in the fall of 1700, then follow
seven frontier braves running toward
Williamsburg. Meet a tough, wilderness-wise,
white Shawnee warrior, a beautiful young
Nahyssan woman who fights and loves with
the same intensity, and a young gifted Saponi
brave who learns fast and deals with the
dangerous differences between his people
and the relentless waves of European
strangers. Fold in a murderous attack on a
peaceful village, a chase to the mountains, a
raging battle of sharp-shooting and
hand-to-hand combat and you have Mac
Laird's action-packed novel set in colonial
Virginia.
Welcome to stories from the Eastern Woodlands, once home to
hunter/gatherers, then refuge to land hungry Europeans, and finally the
birthplace of the United States of America.
DANGEROUS
DIFFERENCES


Here is a chronicle of one man's life- changing
experiences as he immerses himself in a decades-
long labor of love constructing a unique cabin from
natural materials in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains.
The book introduces us to a fascinating array of
characters, including greenwood craftsmen, colorful
mountain folk—one of whom is actually a water
witch—as well as to skillful (and not  so skillful)
fishermen and poker players.

This book informs us that “ If you build it . . . it will
be immensely satisfying, whether they come or not.”
But they came, in great numbers. Who could not?
After all it is a cabin of logs on a friendly mountain in
the heart of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.
