Book Description
The fact that Agnes Jacobs, a half-breed North American Mohawk Indian, aspired to greatness and succeeded, for a time, is a story worth telling. A liberated women way before the term became fashionable, at seventeen, she cohabited with a young, full-blooded Mohawk, who in her opinion showed no gumption. She took off to make her fortune at the St. George Hotel in Ottawa, Ontario. She returned to her village and opened up the busiest, little speakeasy on the New York State and Canada border...at the height of the Prohibition Era. There she met a man worthy of her admiration-a state trooper who came to raid her speakeasy. She dared to show her feminine side, only to lose him to her youngest daughter Mary. Mary, needy for her mother's affections, endured her mother's wrath. Despondent over losing her two little girls to scarlet fever and pneumonia, she gave up and joined her two precious angels. She left her youngest, Eostenuni, age three, for her mother, Agnes, to bring up.
