Calling Crow, is a southeastern American Indian whose tribe lives close to the extreme southern portion of Florida. There are several small tribes in there and Calling Crow is in line to be Chief next in this particular one. He has a teenage girlfriend whom he loves and intends to marry when she is old enough. Then he hears about some white people in boats off the coast and it never dawns on him that they could be hostile. Actually, they are Spanish seeking Indians for slaves. He sees a white man for the first time and a horse and rider. Because of their naivete, they go to meet the Spanish as they come ashore, who then take them captive. The Spanish also have guns and there are several priests with them. Calling Crow is a big man, so he is over-worked and abused; he is almost beaten to death, but he is intelligent and manages to survive torture and abuse by using his intelligence. The author does an excellent job of bringing in the Catholic priests main intent is to bring them to their God, and Calling Crow is astonished to discover there seems to be more than one God. This book is excellently written, it has depth and is excellent as a background for the history of this era.
There are other books following Calling Crow for those who are interest. I think this is a great read and I recommend it highly.
