I got halfway through but then gave up as it was just too repetitive with variations on I went hunting and killed this many animals. Not an auspicious start to my reading year.

I read this many yrs ago, probably on Gutenberg myself. Had there been an intro by Louise Erdrich I would have read it. And I love to read notes.
My first link down (in the comments) has a preview link which might gives you the first pg of the intro to help you decide. Click under book pic. The second link is a scholarly essay on the writing of it. The third link is some extra historical info.

It's very interesting story.

John Tanner was kidnapped from Kentucky at 9 yrs old by the Shawnee and then sold to the Ojibwa. This is his story dictated to a friend in the early 1800's. I went down a rabbit trail and stayed up until 4:30 in the morning researching Northern Minnesota burial mounds. 😆 What a dweeb I am.

rwmg Do the introduction and notes add much to the text or would you be just as well off reading the Project Gutenberg free version? 3y
