Book Description
Many Scots were involved in the European exploration and settlement of North America and began new lives as settlers, explorers, trappers and missionaries. Some even adapted to Indian ways so readily that they became tribal leaders. Twa Tribes is the story of three Scots who went against the attitudes and prejudices of the day, assumed the language and culture of the tribes they encountered and even married into them. These were pioneering individuals with a respect for the land and its people, and this is a vivid record of their experiences and their achievements.
