Publisher's summary

Charles Alexander Eastman (1858-1939) was a Santee Dakota physician, writer, national lecturer, and reformer. Indian Boyhood (1902) is a recollection of Eastman's earliest childhood memories up to the age of 15. He describes the traditional ways in which the tribe governed itself - a police force, hunting and warrior scouts, and the tribal council. The book includes family and tribal legends of adventure, bravery, and nature that he heard in the lodge of the tribe historian. From the age of 15, he was educated at Dartmouth College, went on to become a medical doctor, acclaimed author, and a spokesman for Native Americans. His long association with the Boy Scouts of America began in 1910 when he helped Ernest Thompson Seton establish the organization.

Informative, Interesting, Historical

I loved the narrator, and the stories were interesting to listen to. Not all of the book was traditionally entertaining, but that was exactly what I expected. When I started this book, I wasn't looking to be entertained, I was looking to be educated. I chose this book for a varried historical perspective (different from my own culture) of life in the geographic area where I also grew up. This book delivered! Would recommend!!
