Description
The true-life adventures of a rebellious young Sam Houston when he explores the early American frontier and the mysterious world of the Cherokee.
When his father dies in 1807, Sam’s family is left nearly destitute and must depart to the wilderness of East Tennessee. To escape the domination of his older brothers, Sam runs away from home. He discovers a welcoming place among the Cherokee and quickly adopts the enchanting life of a young warrior. But the Cherokee territory is disappearing, and soon Sam must choose between freedom and survival.
In a desperate attempt to prove his brothers wrong, Sam joins the infantry and captures the admiration of Andrew Jackson with his bold and daring action on the battlefield during the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.

Advance Praise
“Everyone in America knows the name of Sam Houston because of the city in Texas, but who was he as a young man? Author Rose Gonsoulin has done a wonderful job of researching Houston’s complex family life and his extensive time spent living among a Cherokee tribe. Her historical fiction is an engaging and entertaining look into America’s past that really grabs the reader’s attention and fleshes out that time and space in a realistic manner."
