A rewiew by a teenager,
By A Customer
This review is from: Moccasin Trail (Paperback)
3- star This is an example of the typical tone of the passages contained within this book..."The older Indian, hearing his name, bobbed his head and grinned. Jim felt disgust as he pushed out of his thicket and joined the group. Diggers were poor excuses for Indians. Look at them. Bandy legged, grinning like skinned coyotes, stinking of the fish they lived on." The general linguistic style of the book is written to reflect the speech of the characters in the mid 1800's in Oregon with "ain't, wuth, gonna" and other terms used freely. Like many of the books of the genre, the story is written from the viewpoint of settlers. Indeed, the main character is a settler who has lived amongst the Native American's rather than an actual Native American. There are more current and dynamic books such as _Red Sky Ochre_ and _Cochtow Code_ for young adult level readers interested in fiction with well-developed protagonists who truly are Native American. Moccasin Trail is best left unread due to the fact that Jim is not a Native American but a white man. -

Alert! Alert! Really Touching Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Moccasin Trail (Paperback)
Even though I had to read this book for class, I found myself really getting into the action and the emotions.This book is about a trapper named Jim Keath. In the past Jim has run away from his family to satisfy his wanderlust. But lo and behold his is attacked by a grizzly and wakes up in a Crow ( kind of indian tribe )camp. There he learns the indians ways and forgets about the life of a white boy. But then he runs away from that camp too. ? years later a letter is delivered to him that tells of his long-last family. The letter basically says " Jim come help us! " so he sets off to find his family. But every thing is not fine and dandy when he gets there. He has to learn how to trust his family and vice versa. What happens to Jim Keath? READ THE BOOK!

My 9-year-old's favorite book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Moccasin Trail (Paperback)
My 9-year-old son (who reads several years above his grade level) says that this is almost his favorite book. "The Captain's Dog" is his favorite, but this runs a close second. "It was excellent," he said.
