The Light in the Forest: Illustrated by Warren Chappell

An adventurous story of a frontier boy raised by Indians, The Light in the Forest is a beloved American classic.

When John Cameron Butler was a child, he was captured in a raid on the Pennsylvania
frontier and adopted by the great warrrior Cuyloga. Renamed True Son, he came to
think of himself as fully Indian. But eleven years later his tribe, the Lenni Lenape,
has signed a treaty with the white men and agreed to return their captives, including
fifteen-year-old True Son. Now he must go back to the family he has forgotten, whose
language is no longer his, and whose ways of dress and behavior are as strange to
him as the ways of the forest are to them.
