Fort Chambly, New France, 1726. Tamsen and John meet the Jesuit priest who knows their daughter Rachel and escorts them to the Abenaki village. Later, they board a boat to Montreal where they, with a little luck, find Rachel for a tearful reunion. At the convent, the Mother Superior insists Anne must remain there until her ransom is paid. Rachel and the Mohawks make a plan and execute it. The Mohawks, promised good trading, guide the reunited family to the trading ground. Unfortunately, no trading ship waiting for them and the young Mohawk leader is furious. He is about to threaten them when a ship arrives. More difficulties ensue, but the family is rescued by friendly sailors and sails for home. All is well for a few years until Tamsen and John are arrested and taken to court where, based on a counterfeiter’s confession, they are indicted for participating in the scheme to counterfeit money, a hanging offense. As I was reading Tamsen’s False Accusers, I thought I had determined how it would end but I was wrong. With another change in direction, Charles Ross again keeps his readers engaged with a surprise ending. Timothy Hartung, Architect
