The White Indian Boy: The Pioneer Boy Who Ran Away with the Shoshones and Became a Hero in the Wild West

De: Elijah Nicholas Wilson

Narrado por: Bryson Walker

You are about to go back in time to the Wild West of the 1800s.

These true, real-life adventures were told first-hand by Elijah Nicholas Wilson. He was a cavalry spy, hired to track down murdering bands of Indians. Before that he was a stagecoach driver on roads filled with outlaws.

Before that he was one of the first Pony Express riders and was chased by Indians who nearly killed him with arrows.

And before that he was a bronc buster who accepted a bet to ride the meanest bucking horse in the west.

But before all that, and most notably, he was the 12-year-old who ran away from his family farm to live with a tribe of Shoshones. He thus became the legendary "White Indian Boy".

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A rare find. A distinctive contribution to the literature that reflects our Western life." (Professor Franklin T. Baker, Columbia University)

Thank you for adding The White Indian Boy

I grew up with Uncle Nick's stories being told to me by my Grandmother. The stories were said to her by her grandmother and handed down for generations. I read the book several times. It is nice to have audio so I can listen to it whenever.

great adventure

great story. well told. kept my attention throughout the story. intimate piece of Western history.

My great grandpa, Lew Wilson, was the nephew of Nick Wilson.

My great grandpa, Lew Wilson, was born in 1906 in Jackson Hole Wyoming. He was a great man. Jackson's Hole, as it was called back then, is a beautiful valley in the mountains of Wyoming. He owned a construction company, traveling Wyoming to build Bridges and roads. He was a guide for Gros Ventre Wilderness Outfitters. He used to haul horses in his stock truck. when he would round the corner fast he would say "Lean horses, lean"

Great way to learn history

Such a good story! Historically accurate so it makes it a fun way to learn about the West. The audio book also has great sound effects that make the story that much more real.

Honest, simply told true first-hand experience

Well done! Great job of reading with muted sound effects.. horses hooves , battle sounds. I want to hear it again! Ordered the sequel.

One of the very best windows to this past era.

I liked the parts that explained where the events took place and gave the reader a reference to modern day locations.
