SynopsisIn the year 1771, a white boy named Marmaduke Van Swearingen was captured by Shawnee Indians in what is now West Virginia, but was then the edge of the American frontier. Impressed with his bravery, he was not killed but instead was taken to Ohio where he was adopted into the tribe and given the name Blue Jacket, from the blue shirt he was wearing at the time of his capture. The boy grew to excel as a warrior and leader and became the only white to be made a war chief of the Shawnee Nation. And the name Blue Jacket became famous throughout the Northwest Territory. The characters in this book were real people who lived the life and did the things herein recounted. Much of the dialogue is taken directly from historical records. Allan W. Eckert, author of The Frontiersmen and 39 other notable books, has taken all of the known facts of Blue Jacket's life and has woven them into a narrative of compelling interest, with a very different perspective on the way America was settled.

Blue Jacket by Eckert
Well-written and a trip to the frontier of our past. Like being there-----just as all of his other works on the Frontier, Frontiersmen, Indians and how their every day life was lived. Romantic YES---but now we can relive it and it was tough, They were a hardy crew!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
