War Drums

White Indian #13

by Donald Clayton Porter

THE ENEMY--Mysterious threats of war hidden inside a dead man's stiletto send Renno, namesake of the legendary white Sachem, to pit his superb fighting skills against the terrible fury of the rampaging Chickasaw and greedy Spaniards. His marriage to a beautiful golden-haired woman and his alliance with the Americans plunge him into bloodcurdling ambushes and savage raids as the war whoops of the Indian braves mingle with the war cries of the Frontier Regiment in a fierce clash for the destiny of a nation.

THE PRIZE--To wear the mantle of Chief, Renno must follow the path ordained for him by the Manitou, though it leads to peril and treachery. But the rescue of a wilderness woman gone mad and the stunning intervention by the sacred bear of the Seneca protect Renno from the dangers lurking by the Father of Waters, the mighty Mississippi...and lead him to a glorious battleground, where the outcome will be massacre or victory in this awesome new land.

[Ryan Burt · Rating 4 out of 5]

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.

It was a bit stereotypical of course as most books about Native American history usually are, but I still enjoyed it and was able to reach that "eager to read" point where you begin to get really enjoy finding out what happens next.
