This is the book that compelled Philip Marchand, writing in The Toronto Star, to call Douglas Glover "one of the most important Canadian writers of his generation." Lauded by the most influential reviewers in Canada and the US when it was first published in 1993, The Life and Times of Captain N. is now back in print.Set at the Niagara frontier in the final days of the American Revolution, The Life and Times of Captain N. is violent, erotic and partly true. Hendrick Nellis, a Tory guerrilla, is also a redeemer of whites abducted by Indians. His son, Oskar, is the teller of the tale. The book Oskar will write is sketched in letters to George Washington and in the signs tattooed on his skin as mementos of his personal Indian wars.
