Haven’t read these since childhood and wow…this book is blatantly anti Native American. When Mrs Scott claims that the land should belong to the people who are going to farm it (whites) instead of moving around constantly (natives), I went into a blind rage that caused a trance in which I saw what this country would look like if the native practices of migration were still in place. There were no strip malls or condo complexes where the forest once was. If you don’t understand my point, read up on native land practices. It’s too much to explain here.
