Indian life of long ago and Indian life today are equally fascinating in this collection of stories, legends and true accounts of the first Americans. Although the predominating theme is conflict, there is also, in many of the stories the promise of a future in which the bonds of brotherhood will be deeper and more meaningful for both Red Man and White Man. Typical of this mood is the tale of 13-year-old Sam Houston who kept running off to live with the Indians because he felt more at home with them than he did with his own people. And Pierre Radisson, who learned to step aside and let others have the best chances. Or Padre Garce who never went armed on his journeys and lived only to serve what he considered the greatest truth on earth-love for his fellow men. Teen-agers for whom the book is especially planned enjoy stories like these of adventure and heroism. The poetry and insight of Indian ideas and ideals are conveyed in such passages as: Every eye must see for itself, every ear must hear for itself, every tongue must speak for itself. This book speaks well for Alice Hazeltine and the care she has used in compiling it. From the opening chapter of Oliver LaFarge's Laughing Boy, to Alice Marriott's stories of a Pueblo wedding, and her adoption into an Indian tribe, the selections have been made with discrimination and affection for both Red Man and White Man.
