A great read especially if you love stories about Indians and what a great love story as well love some of the history brought forth in the story to

Ja-gonh, Renno's son, has sworn a vow to kill his grandfather's murderer, Gray Fox. He feels he must fulfill this vow before he moves on with his life. But Gray Fox is up to his old schemes and killing him, or even finding him, won't be as easy as it appears.

Another solid entry in the White Indian series. The focus has shifted even more to the younger generation, and I think the story is stronger for that. Renno was always too perfect for me. Ja-gonh does actually make some mistakes. The characters in these books are largely interchangeable, but the story is interesting enough to save the book. I just wish I knew how historically accurate they are. I can't say I ever learned much about the French & Indian wars. Fans of the rest of the series will enjoy this one too.

For a 2 month period I went through the first dozen of this series. I remember enjoying it in high school and they have collected dust on the shelf since. Every time I looked at them I thought I should read them again but not having an electronic version hampered my desire. I finally got back into the world of the Seneca tribe when the pilgrims first came to this country. Following multipal generations of this family is enjoyable. Held up pretty good.

Lots of really complicated engineer speak in this book, but totally balanced by the exquisite writing about the inner thoughts and struggles of Dan Lenson.
