The main character of the book, True Son, has been taken from his Indian family by the army of Cl. Bouquet around 1764. Having been adopted by his Indian father at the age of four when captured by the same, True Son, now a fifteen year old, is powerless to control his destiny and must leave the Lenni Lanape tribe and be returned to his white family. Against all he has learned as an Indian, he shows emotion and can’t control his anger as he is walked to the army post for the journey to Fort Pitt by his father. Cuyloga tells his adopted son to go and bring him no shame.
