One Among the Indians

the long version

Tom Savage was my great to the 8th grandfather. ONE AMONG THE INDIANS is an adventure story, factual where facts are known and as plausible as I could make them where they are not known. "A convincing and well-told story which presents a different picture of John Smith in his relations with the Jamestown colony and the Indians. Young Tom Savage, cabin boy for Captain Newport, becomes an exchange hostage at Powhatan's court and is involved both in the white-Indian struggle and in a tribal intrigue for power." Books for School Libraries "...history as fascinating drama, with Pocahontas, Capt. John Smith and other characters of historical note playing key roles in a new light, for Mrs. Stiles' story is based on research and fact." Chicago Daily Tribune "...at the close of her book, [Stiles] gives a fascinating account of what became of some of the historical characters who appear in it." Charleston News & Courier Published in German by Schwabenverlag as Allein Unter Indianern
