The Bloody Country
Overview & Summary
Set in the 1770s, this novel dramatizes the real historical conflict between Pennsylvania and Connecticut settlers over ownership of Pennsylvania's Wyoming Valley, a dispute that escalates into violence even as the American Revolution looms. James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier use a lesser-known chapter of colonial history to explore how land disputes and competing claims to "rightful" ownership shaped the young country.
