The Legend of Jimmy Spoon, by Kristiana GregoryJuvenile, 1990
This is a story of a young boy settled in the 'old west' with his family, that gets captured by indians and then raised for a time with them. There he becomes the son of the chief, finds his first love, and lives the wild untamed life most boys dream of. Based on a true story, it includes an epilogue which explains what happened to Jimmy in later years.
A fabulous story, it is a re-readable book, particularly for young boys (about ages 9 to 13), but I read it twice as a high school girl and still have a copy on my shelf. Gregory also has a book about Jimmy when he was with the Pony Express.
Graded an A.
