Synopsis

The history of the American West includes a sorry story of abuse and domination of Native Americans by the United States government and its enforcement arm, the U.S. Army. The destruction of the life style and autonomy of indigenous people has resulted in denying to Native Americans "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" even today. This book has a heroic White genius of 7 y/o who, over 20 years, teaches the tribe the English language and modern military technique enough to stand up to the U.S. Army. Eventually, they must flee to Canada where their modern skills enable them to be accepted as Canadian citizens. The book is extensively and accurately researched and reflects a non-fictional foundation to the imaginative ending.

À propos de l'auteur

Author was born in Los Angeles of Jewish heritage. Although pushed into the medical profession, he was an inveterate outdoorsman. The ocean, the Rocky Mountains and the roaring rivers were his teachers. He climbed the Grand Tetons and hopped a freight train over the continental divide high above the Colorado River's headwaters. An outstanding athlete, the physicality of the American West appealed to him. His knowledge of emergency medicine proved to be useful in adding a realistic touch to the book's events.
