An interesting glimpse at the world-view and consequent actions of a 19thC 'Indian fighter' for early 20thC audiences. Not surprisingly, a book of its time for white American audiences. ( ) This book's target audience is young preteens, particularly those born in the early 1900s. I started this book because it was one of my grandfather's favorites. My father said that he would periodically re-read it. The author retells old-time stories of his days with Kit Carson, trapping and killing Indians. If you can get used to the protagonists' cavalier attitude toward killing and driving out Indians, then a reader may be able to find a little historical interest here. The veracity of this book is under dispute. See http://rationalrant.blogspot.com/2007/11/dubious-documents-unlikely-life-of.html nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Captain William F. Drannan (1832-1913) was born on the Ocean during his parent's voyage from France to America. They settled in Tennessee. At the age of 4 he was orphaned by a cholera epidemic. He was then raised by a man named Drake. At age 15 he set out on his own and into an adventurous life. In 1847 he was taken under the wing of Kit Carson and became an Indian scout among many other things. He was accused of mixing fact and fiction in his books. He wrote two books about his life: Thirty-One Years on the Plains and in the Mountains; or, The Last Voice From the Plains (1903) and Chief of Scouts (1910).
