Nick Wilson grew up on the Utah frontier, made friends with a Shoshone boy and, at about twelve, ran away to live with the tribe. He tells of two years as the adopted son of Chief Washakie’s mother, of hunting, great encampments and winter camps, and of his later adventures as a young man in the West.
A genuine pioneer memoir, edited for young readers in 1922, rich in first-hand detail of Shoshone life. Download the free EPUB.
