Synopsis
When his father killed another brave, Thomas Black Bull and his parents sought refuge in the wilderness. There they took up life as it had been in the old days, hunting and fishing, battling for survival. But an accident claimed the father's life and the grieving mother died shortly afterward. Left alone, the young Indian boy vowed never to retum to the white man's world, to the alien laws that had condemned his father.

When the Legends Die, We get the pleasure of a forced read.by shy-pants

June 16, 2009: I was forced to read this for an English class, unfortunately. Nothing happens in this book, I assure you. If you read bits and parts, you've pretty much read the whole story. The first few chapters were okay, but once Thomas grows up, he runs into boring, cheating characters and predictable events. The chapters are long and thoughtless, the characters are plain, and the action is limited. Do not waste pleasure reading on this;put it to better use.

April 24, 2008: A real life look at what the Native people had to go through. A great book with much insight if you want to find it. Yes it is sad but definitely not boring. We read it every year in school and the students always gain a new appreciation and perspective on life.
