(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. Based on Spradlin's informed opinion that the warrior Blue Jacket was a white man who had been captured by the Shawnee as a boy, this book imagines Blue Jacket's years among "the People." Supported by Spradlin's introductory and concluding notes, Blue Jacket's lengthy first-person narrative is informative but rather distant. The accompanying illustrations reflect events in the text.
