Two Little Savages
Being the ADVENTURES of Two BOYS
Who Lived as INDIANS
and What They LearnedA Story with over 300 Illustrations
by Ernest Thompson SetonThis is a great, GREAT book by Ernest Thompson Seton, a wonderful wildlife writer and illustrator, and
one of the founders of the Boy Scouts of America, originally published in 1917.
The story is set in the mid-1800's, and tells the tale of Yan, a sickly city boy, is sent to spend the summer on his cousin Sam's farm in the country to recover his health. After initially despising one another, the boys gradually get better acquainted, and make allowances for each other's differing experiences, perspectives and education. A fascinating story and plot line unfolds, as the boys accept a challenge to spend their summer living "off the land" in the woods near their farm, and set out to prove they can survive just like the early Native Americans!
In this story, we get to follow along and learn with them about plants, animals, building shelters, gathering and cooking food, hunting, fishing, building teepees... and see exactly what mistakes they make, and what ingenious devices and methods they come up with to survive in style. In the process, we learn all sorts of fascinating stuff about how the Indians lived long ago. This is a hugely entertaining and instructive book, chock full of great projects, illustrations, diagrams, Indian lore, and exciting adventures. The story it tells is also very satisfying, as the characters grow and learn from older mentors as well as each other.
This book is absolutely filled to overflowing with fascinating woodlore information, skills and techniques, and countless drawings and sketches to explain or illustrate what the boys are discovering, doing, making or building. We highly recommend this wonderful American classic for red blooded, adventure-loving boys & girls of all ages!

THE SIX SHOOTER
starring Jimmy Stewart"The man in the saddle is angular and long-legged. His skin is sun-dyed brown. The gun in his holster is grey steel and rainbow mother-of-pearl, its handle - unmarked. People called them both . . . The Six Shooter."
One of radio's last great westerns, The Six Shooter starred Hollywood legend Jimmy Stewart as Britt Ponset, a "Texas plainsman who wondered through the Western Territory, leaving behind a trail of still remembered legends."
