Welcome to Litsy!

I just learned that this book, published as an autobiography of a Cherokee focusing on his boyhood, is a fraud. The author was a white man who was a virulent racist (KKK member) and compatriot of George Wallace. I will not be reading it. On the up side, it helps me in my book reduction efforts for this year.

Mom read to us kids constantly, but Dad read us the Bible and little else. So I remember vividly this exception. I was devastated later when I learned it was a literary hoax perpetrated by an ex-Klansman. I can't not feel affection for it anyway

One of my most favorite books of all time. So much wisdom, beauty, and truth. ❤️

Someone else's gift to me on my significant birthday. They had to send away for their favourite book. I think this will be the last one. It's been a wonderful birthday getting so many books that my friends have loved. @MrsMalaprop

There's a lot of wisdom on these pages.

Recommended by a neighbor .... just sinking my teeth into this true Cherokee tale.
