Meanwhile, twelve-year-old Johnny's life gets more complicated and he finds that there's always trouble just around the corner. Johnny's sister, Kate, is involved and plays an important role in the adventures.
Based on letters and newspaper clippings from the author's greatgrandfather, this work of historical fiction is more history than fiction.
The author has strived to describe the interactions between white settlers and Native Americans fairly as well as promote the equality of all peoples. This is a tale the whole family can read together.
