Title: A truly inspirational story
Review: I cannot give enough praise to this book. As I read this book, I can imagine myself sitting and listening to an old storyteller, hearing the voices of Little Tree, Granpa, Granma, Blu Boy, union soldiers, etc. Forrest Carter's choice of diction and description of the sounds in nature was instrumental in transforming the reader back into the time and surrounding of Little Tree and making us look at the beauty of nature, the sadness of losing family members and the bitterness of bigotry. As an autobiography, perhaps it lacks the dates, names and all other details needed to draw up a family tree or fill a logbook, but as a story, it is beautiful. It will make you laugh and cry and remember all those images most captivating to you.
