The Hermit - Robert E McGinnis - Bog

A young Indian orphan desires to do more, learn more and become more than anyone in his tribe. His primary goal is to get an education not available to him as an orphan living among his peers. He accomplishes a few remarkable things before he runs away from the land of his ancestors. He ends up on the east coast of the United States and begins working but has no desire to keep his earnings. Through some chance meetings and lucky breaks he begins a college career that leads him to a PhD and eventually, he becomes a professor admired by all. His lifetime ambition is sidetracked when a beautiful, former student tells him that she is and has been in love with him. I am sure everyone reading this book will be surprised at the way it ends.
