Publisher's summary

You are about to go back in time to the Wild West of the 1800s.

These true, real-life adventures were told first-hand by Elijah Nicholas Wilson. He was a cavalry spy, hired to track down murdering bands of Indians. Before that he was a stagecoach driver on roads filled with outlaws.

Before that he was one of the first Pony Express riders and was chased by Indians who nearly killed him with arrows.

And before that he was a bronc buster who accepted a bet to ride the meanest bucking horse in the west.

But before all that, and most notably, he was the 12-year-old who ran away from his family farm to live with a tribe of Shoshones. He thus became the legendary "White Indian Boy".

Thank you for adding The White Indian Boy

I grew up with Uncle Nick's stories being told to me by my Grandmother. The stories were said to her by her grandmother and handed down for generations. I read the book several times. It is nice to have audio so I can listen to it whenever.

Great way to learn history

Such a good story! Historically accurate so it makes it a fun way to learn about the West. The audio book also has great sound effects that make the story that much more real.
