There's no better way to meet someone from over a hundred years ago than through an old memoir.


It's 1928, a memoir of Thomas Leforge has been released for print. A self-described Ohio born American becomes an Army scout as a white Crow Indian.He's in charge of the Crow scouts riding with Custer at the Little Big Horn.
He's not there for the fight but witnesses the aftermath. He talks about things most have never heard of. He not only becomes a soldier scout, but understands the Crow tongue and Indian sign-language so he interprets. He marries into the Crow family, respects their culture, and becomes a Crow warrior in every sense of the word.
While there he learns about a life of the purest form; freedom. Thomas LaForge is so vivid while telling his stories he encapsulates your mind's eye putting you in the moment. Giving you no choice but to be a witness of every word spoken, every action taken. He'll make you smell the buckskins, see the sky, smell the smoke of each campfire, you'll feel the quiet lying in the grass while evading discovery.
With each word you will feel the adrenaline like you are there with him. His stories breathe; taking you to the very center of that instant. You'll leave the page thinking I'm glad I'm out of there, as though it just happened....
You won't want to put this book down. Not only will you not want to put this book down but in many instances you'll witness some of the very "actors", places, and things he describes throughout his vast saga.
A concentrated effort was made to search out as many individuals' images as possible to make his story complete while placing them strategically as able. Except for one 'surprise' image that most have always said had never been taken before.
This fully indexed volume will be a great addition to anyone's historical library.
