NICK WILSON:

by Howard R. Driggs ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 10, 1951

All young cowboys are familiar with the perils and unusual attractions of casting lots with the Western Indian tribes of the pioneer days, and this re-telling of the boyhood adventures of the frontiersman, Nick Wilson, is absorbing reading. When some Shoshone Indians offered ten-year-old Nick a pinto pony if he would come live with them, Nick could see few objections, and became a member of the Shoshone tribe, devoted to his Indian mother and her son the Chief. Making Indian friends, participating in the work and play, attending a pow-wow where he had the dubious honor of being the only white boy present, and learning the Indian ways, result in a busy few years, after which Nick returns to his family. A first-rate frontier story.
