This title in other formats:The White Indian Boy: And Its Sequel the Return of the White Indian Boyby Elijah Wilson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:1919. Illustrated with drawings by F. N. Wilson. This is the true story of Uncle Nick Wilson. He was a man who not only lived part of his life with the Shoshone Indians but rode for the Pony Express. Wilson, Wyoming is named after him. Book News Annotation:This compilation brings together two memoirs written about one man,
Nick Wilson. The first, written by Wilson and previously published in
four different versions, was printed in 1910 as Uncle Nick Among
the Shoshones and is also known as Among the Shoshones. Wilson
was one of the first Mormon converts, and this book chronicles his
life after leaving Utah to live with the Shoshone Indians. Wilson
then became a Pony Express rider and an interpreter for five Indian
languages. The second memoir, first printed in 1985, was written by
Wilson's son Charles at the end of his life, and continues Nick's
fascinating story with the help of John J. Stewart, who wrote the
preface. Charles answers questions about Nick's life and gives
further details about his family and eventual return to Jackson Hole,
Wyoming.
