His Indian Brother
by Hazel WilsonIn the early 1800's, Brad Porter and his father have traveled from boston to the Maine woods to build a cabin for the Porter family. Brad stays to continue preparing the cabin while his father goes back to bring Ma and the twin girls to their new home. But the time for returning passes and brad finds himself alone and in trouble, due to some mishaps such as a bear that eats most of the food, losing his father's rifle, and a broken ankle. He is in danger of starving when some Indians rescue him. One is chief kineowa, and the other is a boy around brad's age, sabattis. When the chief goes to join his tribe, Sabattis stays behind to care for Brad. Still grieving for his family, brad nevertheless finds it exciting to learn to hunt and fish as well as sabattis, whose somewhat contemptuous attitude changes gradually to friendship and respect as the boys share experiences, joys and dangers. Brad and sabattis come to regard themselves as brothers, yet Brad's lost family is still in his heart. Can he become an adopted member of sabattis's tribe, or will something happen to change his plans for a new life with his indian brother? This is a fine book for children, based on the same source material as The Sign of the Beaver, but in my opinion more engaging.
