Reseña del libro "Mentoc: An Indian Story (en Inglés)"
Mentoc is an Indian Adventure novel that is based on actual places and events. I lived on this farm from the age of 4 until the age of 18 and spent many hours in these woods just as I describe. The piles of stone chips do exist just as described. The Indian burial graves are still there. And the deer are still hunted in the same areas. The time spent in these woods and on that bluff prompted me to write this novel. Since I am part Indian I feel very close to Mentoc even though I am part Cherokee and not Osage. Hunting and providing for the family is a brave's responsibility and he must accomplish it with dignity and provide the animals he takes with the dignity they deserve. I have hunted for squirrels, rabbits and deer in these woods. We never slaughtered animals just to slaughter them for sport. We had wolves in those same caves I describe and I have spent many hours on top of the bluff just watching them. Dreaming about their life and watching their mother wolf bring them a rabbit to eat. I rode my young horse that my father had given me to school which was about 1 mile away through the same woods that the raiders had taken in the novel. The bottom lands that Mentoc describes are the same and floods as I described. I have spent many hours perched on a tree over the river fishing just as Mentoc did and caught the big catfish just like he did. The only difference was I had to skin it and cut it up and have my mother cook it along with hush puppies. I have written many stories based on my early life and have given them to my grandchildren to read. Young and old alike will finds this story very interesting when they realize it is based on actual places and facts. I still can see in my mind many of the places this is based upon. I can still smell the algae smell coming off the lazy river in the summer time. My father and I plowed these fields and took turns fishing for our supper. I have found many arrows in that river bottoms along with a couple ax heads. I
