Blacksnake's Path the True Adventures of William Wells

This splendid novel about an unsung hero of American history carries its prodigious learning lightly in order to tell vividly the authentic story of William Wells's remarkable life. Blacksnake's Path recreates an entire period (1770-1812), showing how the Indians lived, fought for their homeland, and dealt with defeat. Because Wells was always the man in the middle, moving between two clashing cultures, the novel also dramatizes the lives of the pioneers who settled the territory north of the Ohio River. In 1784, when he was thirteen, Wells was captured in Kentucky by the Miami.
