He meets Hiawatha, Deganawide, Jigonsasay, and other Indian leaders. His tale is accompanied by line drawings that vividly portray the art of making baskets, moccasins, bows and arrows, clothing, and other everday articles. These illustrations are done by Don Perceval, a renowned artist and specialist on Indians..

This exciting adventure story incorporates Harrington's vast knowledge of Indian life, lore, and crafts.
"Dickon got taken!" according to A Customer. This sequel to Dickon Among the Lenape was a let down for me.It didn't ring true to his connections with the Lenape- who were NOT friendly to the Iroquois. It appeared to me to be much more fictionalized thanDickon. I also do not think the illustrations were as good as C> Elsworth'. "A Love For Native Americans" according to nina ishmael. M.R. Harrington has a real love for the Native American and with this he is able to educate. The action is real as well as believable characters. I read his first book "Dickon Among the Lenapes" to my Fourth Grade Class as a real aloud and they couldn't get enough of it. And know t. Four Stars R.Gibbs Got for a young student- she couldn't put it down. Lots of traditional Indian culture in the story.
