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.
