WHITE MOCCASINS

Patterned and predictable adventures in Florida in 1834 and 1835 follow Jim Brady, 14 and an orphan, as he sets out from Philadelphia.

But on the way down Jim is lucky enough to run into a Senator Anderson from Baltimore, who takes a liking to him and asks him to be his Florida correspondent and report on the social and political state of affairs. This Jim does, while he hunts with Uncle Matt, sees the tragedy of the Indian wars, and finds his grandfather-an actor with a travelling company.
