In 1871 five-year-old Wassaja, a Yavapai Indian, was kidnapped then sold to a sympathetic photographer, Carlo Gentile. Renamed Carlos Montezuma, Wassaja became a doctor and advocate for Native Americans. As well as using other sources, Capaldi effectively adapts an autobiographical letter Montezuma wrote to the Smithsonian in 1905. The text is ably supported by sidebars, photos (many by Gentile), and textured paintings. Bib. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
