    About this ebook

    The Indian Battle at Claremore Mound near Claremore, Oklahoma, occurred in 1817 between the Osage and Cherokee Indian tribes. The Osage were attacked by the Cherokee and the ensuing battle was devastating to the Osage Indians.

    In this exciting and informative tale, Running Brook, a young Indian maiden, tells the story of her great-great-great-grandfather, who survived the attack. The story was written with middle school children in mind; however, I believe that anyone might enjoy the story.

    Author

    Carol Davis

    Carol Davis spent most of her adult life in a public school classroom teaching public speaking, drama, writing, and literature. After thirty-one years in the public schools, Carol began a ten-year career as an instructor at the college level. In between the two teaching experiences, Carol became a flight attendant for American Airlines. In 2001, she decided to return to her home and spend more time with her family. Working with her granddaughter on a school project, Carol felt inspired to look for more information about an Indian battle that had occurred about seven miles from her home. The story was so interesting that she wanted to share it with readers who like adventure stories. The illustrator Jen Bruner, a longtime friend of the author, was also from Claremore, Oklahoma. Jen was extremely talented not only as an artist but as a musician. Sadly, a week after finishing the last illustration, Jen passed away from a heart attack. The book is dedicated to her.

      Running Brook walked toward the school, struggling to contain her emotions. Anxious about her visit to the class, she wondered how the children would respond to her strange clothes and jewelry. Would they laugh at her or mock her because she looked so different in her black wig and Indian costume?
