Brothers of the Heart: A Story of the Old Northwest, 1837-1838

"Lame teenager Shem finds manhood in the Michigan wilderness with the help of an old Indian woman in a historical novel, written partly in the form of journal entries and letters, that depicts many facets of early nineteenth-century frontier life".--Booklist.
In this brand-new repackaging of the companion to Joan W. Blos's Newbery-winning book of A Gathering of Days, Blos weaves another adventurous tale set against the backdrop of the Michigan wilderness in the 1800's.
