Produktinformationen zu „White Falcon (ePub)“
This book tells the true story of a frontier boy, John Tanner, who became the courageous leader of the Chippewa Indians and played an important part in the struggle for control of the fur trade in Northwest.Captured by two Ojibwa Indians as a child in 1789 from present-day Kentucky and carried north into the Michigan Territory, John Tanner was allowed to live but was badly mistreated; although a capable, adaptive boy, the more he tried to be Indian the more he was rejected for being white. Then, two years later, Netnokwa, retiring chieftess of the tribe, adopted him and took him with her to live with the Chippewas. Life became socially easier and John's natural abilities made him a leader. Rivalries ensued, both personal ones and those of the fur trading companies, but ultimately John makes his name in helping Selkirk with the Red River settlement.A gripping read.
Autoren-Porträt von Elliott Arnold
ELLIOTT ARNOLD (September 13, 1912 - May 13, 1980) was an American newspaper feature writer, novelist, and screenwriter.Born in Brooklyn, New York, he began his writing career while in college as a reporter at the Brooklyn Times. His first novel, Two Loves, was written when he was just 18 years old. In 1932 he became a feature writer with the New York World-Telegram, during which time he also wrote four books: Personal Combat (1936), Only the Young (1939), Finlandia! The Story of Sibelius (1941), and Commandos: A Novel (1942).
Soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Arnold enlisted in the army and was assigned to the Army Air Corps. He helped in the collaboration of two official air histories, Mediterranean Sweep and Big Business. After four years in the military he was awarded the Bronze Star Metal by General MacArthur and was discharged with the rank of captain.
Elliott Arnold is probably best known for his novel Blood Brother (1947), for which he earned the Commonwealth Club of California Silver Medal in 1948. It was also adapted into the acclaimed motion picture Broken Arrow in 1950, for which he won the 1951 Screen Writers Guild prize, and into a TV series of the same name in 1950.
Arnold died in New York City in 1980 at the age of 67.
