Name of a book bare with me...?


Okay here we go... I have a vaigue recollection of this book that I loved when I was younger just don't remember its title.

Its a western style book about a boy that wanted a horse and kept asking his parents to get him one but on his b-day his dad gave him a pocket watch. The boy was talking to some Indians about a paint horse and he traded with the for what he thought but they kinda kidnapped him and took him on a long ride. His legs got chapped the Indians had him get in some salt water. When they got to the Indian camp an old woman nursed his wounds and the kids made fun of him. while he was growing up the Indian woman made him fine clothes and he fell in love with an Indian girl from another camp. I believe he killed a bear and wore the bear claw around his neck. He ended up having to go back to a white camp at the end of the book but I think when he grew of age he went back to the Indian camp. Not sure much more I read it along time ago help much apreaciated thanks!

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8-A classic in its own right, this novel by Conrad Richter (Knopf, 1953) lends itself well to the dramatic reading by Terry Bregy. John Butler, born in a small frontier town, was captured at age four by the Lenni Lenape Indians and raised by the great warrior, Cuyloga, who named the boy "True Son." He grew up thinking, feeling, and fighting like an Indian. Now rescued and restored to his family because of a treaty to return all white captives to their own people, John Butler rebels against this civilization and desires to return to the tribe. Escaping from the family farm in Pennsylvania, he discovers the eternal and irreconcilable conflict between the two worlds. "True Son"/John Butler asks, "Who am I? Where do I belong?" The narrative reading is replete with emotion; it reflects the harshness and the eloquence of the story as it is revealed. The benefits of listening to this moving tale are many; expression and dramatic reading aid understanding. For a sense of history and a sense of conflict between two different cultures, this novel is a masterpiece by one of America's finest writers."
