Run Indian Run

by Thomas P. Kelley

***GOODREAD MEMBER Reviews:* Carl Van Dam (Jan 14, 2013 4 0f 5 Stars) really liked it: The tragic story of an Indian (Simon Gun-an-noot) in northern BC who was falsely accused of murdering two white men in 1906.** Simon had followed the advice of his elders to integrate in the new white society which was changing the ways of his people and had set up a general store. ***But a jealous and bitter Indian peer of Simon engineered a situation to make it look like Simon was a murderer***. As a result, Simon was hunted by police for 13 years. ***Simon was a master in the wilderness and continually eluded capture***, mostly through wilderness experience, knowledge, and stamina, but also through listening in on the campfire conversations of his pursuers to learn their thoughts/plans! ***Eventually Simon was acquitted in court after being convinced to give himself up. The remainder of his years back at home were not happy ones as his long absence had taken its toll on his wife and children. Cert
