Fifteen-year-old Christopher West befriends a young Native American boy his own age in the Carolinas in 1670. Christopher's new friend teaches him how to hunt, forage, and respect the land and in exchange Christopher teaches his Sewee acquaintance English and how to play chess. As the English move inland and take land and resources from the Indians, Christopher experiences conflicting loyalties. Based on true facts, this is an exciting tale of a little-known chapter in American history.
