Overview

On New Year's Day 1870, 10-year-old Adolph Korn was kidnapped by Indians. Nor was his abduction painless. First struck down with a pistol, he later fell off a horse and was crippled. Yet by the time he was restored to his parents--just three years later--Adolph was a Commanche who could never adjust to the society that had "rescued" him from savagery. This and other tales of white Indians, stunningly written by one of Adolph's distant relatives, reveal how subjective--perhaps even mistaken--is our understanding of family and what constitutes the good life. Golden-voiced Grover Gardner charges his rich baritone with the thrill of discovery. B.H.C. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

This could possibly be one of the best books that no one has heard of. It transforms you into that time period with an excellent voice over and very interesting , well written material.
