Soaring Eagle with Many Coups - James Safreno - Bog

As with everyone, we all go down the path of life; sometimes, that path becomes rough and dangerous, and sometimes the path is just the opposite. So it is with James York, set in the 1800s. This story is a novel based on reality; of a person who got forced to leave his loved ones at an early age. He got attacked continuously by hostile natives, raised by the Shoshone, who lived near the Snake River. James York becomes a great Shoshone warrior and mountain man feared by his enemies while being honored by friends. He stepped out of the white man's world and entered and Native American world, almost totally purging all that was white in him. He did this only to be forced back in the white world again, and in doing so, there is a battle within him between the red man and the white man's world. With all the pain, he must go through his life; he seems to be able to cope and adapt. As his Spirit Guide said to him, "You will live for a long time and have many children also there will be some sadness and some happiness. You will be feared by some as well as admired by others, and you will have great wealth." His Spirit Guide was correct, he did lived long and had a wealth of many descendants as well as fortune, and his stature got known in America and Britain.
