Johnny Logan: Shawnees Spy

As you might have guessed from the title, I am currently reading "Lohnny Logan: Shawnees Spy".

The book is about Spemica Lawba, who is a Shawnees boy. He is captured by a American general during a raid, and given the name Johnny Logan. The general is very kind to Johnny, and adopts him as his son. After several years of living with the general, Johnny goes back to his Indian village as the result of a prisoner exchange between whites and Indians .Johnny is torn between his adoptive white family, and his Indian family. He knows that the white culture is more advanced than the Indian one, but his family believe that there is no way the Indians and whites can live together in harmony. I have only just started to read the book, so I will post again soon.

The Smiling Rebel

I just finished reading "The Smiling Rebel", by Harnett Kane. That is the book I talked about in earlier posts. (In case you didn't read them, it is about the life of Belle Boyd, who is a Confederate spy during the Civil War.) The book, although it was a novel, contained many facts about Belle's life. All the while, though, it keeps the amazing story of Belle Boyd interesting. The book summarizes her life  and provides information while keeping the feel of a fictional novel.It is very well written, and very engaging. I recommend this book to anyone that likes historical fiction.
