Abstract
THE supposed autobiography of a Red Indian boy of some seventy years ago, when the veteran author was himself a small boy. The tribe is not mentioned, doubtless with intention; but Mr. Grinnell probably had in his mind the Cheyenne, which he knows so well. Anyhow, the book is not for ethnologists, but for boys, and the one on whom we have tried it pronounces it “topping.” Written in the simplest English, without affectation the story brings out all the noblest features of the tribal life that has passed away. There is abundance of sympathy, but no sentimentality.
