Tomahawks and Trouble

William O. Steele

0/5 ( ratings)

When Laird Whitlock was captured by Indians, along with Matt Seekright, who was only a year older, and little Janie Bolton, it looked as though they'd never escape. The exhausting days of forced march seemed endless - and hopeless - and to make it worse Laird couldn't help but feel Matt was to blame for their capture because he had refused to go cautiously through the wilderness. And then one night, when the Indians had too much plundered spirits to drink, the three children managed to get away.
There were times, as they wandered, when it seemed that being free - and lost - was almost worse than being captive, but the discovery that one of the Indians was still trailing them spurred them on to a final valiant effort to outwit him. Only after Laird nearly brought disaster upon them by choosing the wrong path did he realize that anyone can make a mistake and that it was wrong of him to hold a grudge against Matt.
As May Hill Arbuthnot said of Mr. Steele in a recent issue of Elementary English, "There is no one writing for children today who can re-create wilderness life with the authentic details and emotional impact of William Steele." In this new story of the Tennessee frontier the author of such books as Winter Danger and The Buffalo Knife has made a further contribution to Americana for young people.
