Moving, Absorbing Book on Native American Chiefs

Russell Freeman is a great children's writer about historical topics. He brings many topics to life and makes them accessible for older kids. This is a very moving book about several great Indian Chiefs during the Indian Wars in the 1800s. I highly recommend it.
