Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This bland 24th installment in Porter's White Indian series ( Hawk's Journey ) takes its heroes, the proud Seneca chief Renno and his son, Little Hawk, to Europe. Various and sundry relatives and friends also tag along. Their collective mission is to rescue Little Hawk's sister, Renna, and her husband, Beau, a count and younger brother of the future king Louis Philippe. Renna and her spouse have been caught in Portugal, where the count has been sent on a diplomatic mission, when Napoleon invades the Iberian Peninsula. Lazily written (the Empress Josephine is described as inclining her "well-coiffed head"), the book skips merrily from the American backwoods to Britain to Napoleon's court to a Portuguese convent. Foxes are hunted. Banquets are attended. Indian ceremonies are enacted. Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are but two of the historical personages who appear. The somewhat stereotyped depiction of Native Americans might be offensive if the whole thing weren't so silly.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Loved both the Father and the Son...,
By Rick Andreasen (Gilbert, Arizona) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FATHER AND SON (White Indian) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book manages to recapture the intrigue and suspense of the first few releases in the White Indian series. Porter revisits Renno, the fourth generation since the original White Indian, in his trials and challenges of Sachem of the band of Senecca Indians displaced with their new brothers, the Cherokee. The story follows Renno as he prepares the next generation of Sachem(s!) to lead the band of Senecca. The authenticity of Porter's research shows, as he details the daily life and struggle, along with his flair for historical accuracy, of this time period. A must-read for any fan of the White Indian series.

Father and Son [ White Indian 24],
By "rottenbananna" (HOBART, IN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FATHER AND SON (White Indian) (Mass Market Paperback)
I HAVE BEEN READING THESE BOOKS FOR OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, AND I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED THEM AND I CAN HARDLY WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT BOOK OF THE SERIES COMES OUT. ONCE I START TO READ ONE OF THESE BOOKS, I AM MOVED BACK IN TIME AND I RELIVE THE LIFE THAT RENNO AND HIS FAMILY DID AT THAT TIME IN HISTORY. I WAS GIVEN THE FIRST 4 BOOKS BY A FAMILY MEMBER AND I WILL NEVER GIVE THEM UP FOR ANYTHING,THESE BOOKS ARE A PART OF MY FAMILY NOW. I STUDIED NEW YORK HISTORY WHEN I LIVED IN THAT STATE AS A YOUNG GIRL AND MR PORTER IS SO CLOSE TO TELLING IT JUST LIKE IT WAS BACK THEN IN HISTORY. I DO HOPE THAT HE KEEPS ON WRITTING MORE TO THE SERIES.
