Title: Tedious, but compelling story
Review: This book was required for my American Lit class. It's not the genre I would normally read, but I found Tanner's autobiography (or biography, since he didn't write it himself, but dictated it to a ghost writer) fascinating. I could have rented it from my college, but I liked it enough to want a copy for my personal library. "The Falcon" is an account of life among early 1800's American Indians--their lifestyle and culture--from the perspective of a captive (Tanner) who not only adapts, but embraces them as his own. It begins with his kidnapping and ends with his return to the white man's world thirty years later. It's not a thrill-a-minute adventure (though most assuredly an adventure), but a true picture of life among the Ojibbeway Indians. If Colonial-period history, Indians, and captivity stories are of interest to you, I highly recommend this book.
