Reviews

[Hana · Rating 1 out of 5]

In a word, racist, with little to no research. This book doesn’t have any form of structure, and includes broad generalizations.

This is a book of boys from about 10 up. I did like it for the struggle Wolf Rockwell had while he tried to outrun some Indians. the book gave an interesting insight to Indian beliefs about their idea of being brave.

I had an ancestor, Jonas Sams who had a similar adventure that lasted 11 days before the Indians gave up and he was able to make it home.
