Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The children's version of our best-selling title _Indian Summer_, this book gives younger readers a close-up view of traditional California Indian life and early California.
Thomas Jefferson Mayfield kept a wonderful secret for almost sixty years; the secret of his childhood among the Choinumne Indians of California's San Joaquin Valley. For twelve years he played and slept alongside Choinmune children, he hunted and fished with them, ate their food and wore their clothes. Antelope and elk roamed the valley, fish filled the rivers, and millions of birds darkened the skies._ Adopted by Indians_ is the story of a boy who had an adventure that we can only dream about and it is absolutely true.
_Adopted by Indians_ has been approved by the California Department of Education and is listed in the Instructional Materials Approved for Legal Compliance Catalog.

Rated by buyers -
I bought this book as gift for my great-nieces & found it an excellent read and hard to put down once started. (Have ordered the adult version for myself: Indian Summer) This book is written in such a lovely manner and takes you from one adventure to the subsequent quickly - much detail is given to daily life among the very first land stewards and their ways - definitely a page turner that will leave you astounded and in awe. A great story for teaching what our public schools don't have time for. It is un-biased and written in a loving style - consider this book for your children to read to better understand an important part of California's past.
