Flight to Jewell Island

About the Book

Because of the Indian raids in Maine during 1675, the Potts family and their neighbors left their homes to travel offshore to Jewell Island. There they felt so safe they left nine year old Thomas Potts to guard the fort. When Thomas saw the Indians lower their war canoes off Cliff Island, he fired the shot that saved the island.
