1828
Rachel Dyer: A North American Story is a historical novel by John Neal, first published in 1828. Set in the early 18th century, it follows Rachel Dyer, a strong-willed Puritan woman navigating the challenges of colonial life, including a love affair with a Native American man and the societal pressures of her community.
