Set in colonial Massachusetts, The Devil’s Elbow follows Jack Parker from his orphan childhood days as an apprentice to a greedy and brutal Boston merchant to the isolated pioneer settlement of Brookfield, where he ends up in the fight of his life to protect the people and things he loves. The book is set against the background of King Philip’s War, the single greatest catastrophe to occur in seventeenth-century Puritan New England.

Jack uses the knowledge his father gave him - that the measure of a man is how he deals with the worst life can throw at him - along with the support of the powerful man who becomes his friend, and the deep, unshakeable love for his wife to fuel his determination to survive. He draws on all he has learned on his three-decade journey when he’s met with his greatest test as he and ninety-eight others are trapped in a four-room tavern for three hot, humid August days, fighting for survival against 400 once-friendly Indians who are determined to wipe them out and reclaim their land and way of life.

5,0 su 5 stelle An Instant American Classic...In My Book!
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 22 agosto 2012

Londergan's sense of storytelling and character development comes through in this timeless story of love, family and the journey towards the American Dream. Filled with plenty of suspenseful action scenes too, this was a hard book to put down. The highs and lows of Jack Parker's adventures in the late 17th century Massachusetts Bay colony are still relatable to all ages today. Hardships will always be a constant in our lives but the true value of one's self is how you respond to adversity. An excellent book for those thirsting for a story about the appreciation of good old fashion hard work, perseverance, hope, redemption and faith that dreams can come true if you're willing to work for it. A highly recommended read. Can't wait to see more from Londergan!

The Devil's Elbow moves along at a good pace; the characterizations are solid; the descriptions of colonial Massachusetts are accurate and most interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed this coming-of-age historical account of settling Massachusetts in the second half of the 1600's. Since I live near some of the towns mentioned, the storyline is especially interesting to me.
.
I enjoyed The Devil's Elbow as it detailed the life of the early settlers, their joys, their hardships, their fears, and their hopes. Several times I was familiar with the names of the indigenous tribes mentioned, a few times I enjoyed stopping to quickly research the location of an Nipmuck village.
.
I am not sure I will ever drive through the towns and villages mentioned in this book again without vivid ideas of what life was like over 300 hundred years ago in these very same localities. As a former teacher, I should like to see this book used in Massachusetts schools to teach not only language arts but colonial New England history. This book is a winner.
.
The vocabulary and phrasing in some parts of the book is out of time with the period and level of education of the characters, but I did not find that too distracting. I saw one mention to "canning" food. If I am not mistaken, canning was not invented until Napoleon's army needed a way to preserve food over 150 years after the period in The Devil's Elbow. All the other historical references, however, were right on target and brought the book to life for me. I recommend this book as light, enjoyable reading, especially for young adults.

I came to this book by doing a search looking for historical fiction based on King Phillips War in colonial New England. While the story reaches it's climax during one of the native american raids of the war, the story is primarily about the many trials and tribulation of an orphaned farm boy ca 1685. The book is not particularly well researched or written. The dialog has a very contempoary feel to it and descriptions of the environs are somewhat sparse and limited in there scope and depth.
I summary the book's failings highlight the shortcomings of many novels self published on Kindle. Amazon would be well served by prominently intentifying self published works as such.

5,0 su 5 stelle A new slant on one of the most import era's of our nation's history.

This is a gret story from the first to last page. The characters appear real and you will relate to their plight. If you like a story filled with adventure, romance and danger, this is for you.

Mr. Londergan really knows how to tell a story. I will definitely keep up with this author to see what else he has in store. A truly enjoyable read.

4,0 su 5 stelle Tale of New England 1660s and 1670s
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 26 gennaio 2014

This yarn, written as the memoir of Jack Parker, resident of Ipswich, MA, describes life in the region at the time, skirting, albeit mentioning, the religious absolutism of the Puritan powers. It does not go as far as 1692 and the Witch trials, but does cover the start of the Indian Wars, otherwise known as King Philip's War, which ended in 1678, offering a descriptive glimpse into the history of the region while keeping the characters light, positive, and straightforward, it is a good, but not great book.
Jack, orphaned and raised by an aunt and uncle, is first sent as an apprentice to a Boston merchant, where we, the reader, get a picture of the better and worse parts of such an apprenticeship. After his uncle agrees that the apprenticeship was a bad idea, he brings Jack home and the family moves west, to the vicinity of Springfield, where, after happily farming for several years they are attacked by Native American forces led by Metacomet, known to the settlers as "King Philip."
The author clearly plans to continue the tale in the next volume, taking the reader through the history of the Massachusetts colonialists. The book is essentially history for dummies, and I have no quarrel with that. So, for readers who want to get an overview of history the easy way, go for it!
