The White Indian Boy: And Its Sequel the Return of the White Indian Boy
by Elijah Wilson

The White Indian Boy: And Its Sequel the Return of the White Indian Boy Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher 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.
