Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Let's give Mr. Johnston some credit for his effort....   June 14, 2005

Sometimes the writing style did bog down and was clumsy to read. I attribute some use of this style to the era in which the story took place.

I searched for other reviews on this book and found a review where Mr. Johnston admitted he embellished "The Indian Summer" written back in 1917. Why? The book is currently out of print and as time goes on copies of that book will be difficult if not impossible to find.

If you happen to come across a copy of this book, don't be discouraged by the previous reviews. The story is very intriguing and will hold your interest to the very last page.

This book is a close copy of the 1917 book, "The Indian Drum" by McHarg and Balmer. Readers would be advised to go to the original book rather than read this rather tedious and poorly written copy of an interesting but plagiarized story. Even the characters have the same names...

This book is a poorly done editing of "The Indian Drum," by William MacHarg and Edwin Balmer, which was originally published in 1917. If you are looking for a great adventure set in Chicago and northern Michigan early in the nineteenth century, then look for a copy of the original.
