The Light In The Forest 

by Conrad Richter 


Special Book Club Edition 


The unforgettable story of a white boy raised by Native Americans, and torn between the claims of blood and loyalty in the merciless struggle for the wilderness.


"True Son,' born John Butler in a little  frontier town, was captured by the  Lenni Lenape Native Americans when he was four years old, and adopted into the tribe by the great warrior Cuyloga who renamed him and reared him as his own.


True Son grew up to think, feel, and fight like a Native American, to reverence their God. Then, the Native Americans made a treaty and agreed to return all white captives to their  own people ... but True Son had learned to hate all white men- 


The Light In The Forest, with all its  harshness and violence, is a moving and beautiful story, eloquently told by one of America's finest writers.
