I remember this book from my childhood 40-some years ago. Though the text is the same, it's not the original publisher. The book is put together more cheaply in this edition; past the cover, it just has a cheesy look to it. I realize that I'm making a subjective statement, and a relative one as well, but overall the book just doesn't have the quality to it that I hoped it would have. Thank goodness the story is still as good as it always was!

This captivating story has never left my memory for 30 years! It was a favorite "read aloud" at the Christian school I attended and I enjoyed hearing it again and again. Now that I am a 3rd grade teacher, I too will read it aloud to my children! It also falls into meeting Social Studies California State standards with regards to learning more about the American Indians.

You want a fascinating adventure? This is it. What makes it even better is that it's a true story. Read the book about ten years back yet lots of books later, it still stands as one of my very favorites.

First read this book when I was a young girl, after attending a church campmeeting where the author was a featured storyteller in my age group. My mom bought me this book and I had it read in 2 days! Re-read this story about twice a year for years! It was one of the most exciting stories I'd ever read. Now that I'm a grama... it was one of the first books I started looking for to pass on as a GREAT read!

I remember reading this book as a kid, and I still have the well used book to read to my daughter. I real classic.

I remember this book from childhood, when it was read to us in class(3rd or 4th grade), I purchased it and read it as an adult, and it's still a GREAT story.

This book has been an all time favorite of mine. I've read it over and over since I was a child and now my children (ages 5-14) still enjoy it as a family read aloud. Josephine Edwards was a fabulous story teller and did wonderful "weeks of prayer" for my elementary school when I was a child. Thanks to her family for the effort they put into getting this story back into print for another generation!

Fun for the whole family. Read this a chapter at a time at bedtime. My children couldn't wait for the next chapter each evening! Thank you for a wonderful family story!

One of my favorite books as a kid, very well written. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has young children who like to be read a story.
