The Forest Ghost (Casebound)

In 1962, young Arthur McCutcheon hails from a well-to-do family who want ivied collegiate walls for him. Instead, Arthur is drawn to the tree-covered hills of Painted Post. Just beginning to explore the forests, Arthur's life is turned upside down by villainous schemes, and his future quickly becomes murky. Thrust into a new world with Renee, his loyal hound, Arthur learns about the woods and life from the venerable Seneca chief, John "Gray Eyes" Cornplanter. It won't be easy as Gray Eyes, his daughter, Mist, and wife, Shell, try to teach the bumbling if eager teenager. But one thing is certain. There's something different about this youth from Painted Post with a foot in both worlds. The exciting prequel to The Last Coon Hunter.
