About This Book
During the summer of 1777, fourteen-year-old Samuel Russell has difficulty embracing his family's peaceful Quaker ways as war between the British and Americans surrounds him. Samuel meets Stands Straight, a young Abenaki Indian scout for King George, who feels all Americans are the enemy. Their brief encounter brings life-altering realizations to both of them.About the Authors or Illustrators
Joseph Bruchac learned a lot from his grandmother, grandfather, and the local farmers and lumberjacks who gathered in his family's store, but it wasn't until he went to college that he heard Native American stories.
