Product Description
The Education of Little Tree tells of a boy orphaned very young, who is adopted by his Cherokee grandmother and half-Cherokee grandfather in the Appalachian mountains of Tennessee during the Great Depression.

“Little Tree” as his grandparents call him is shown how to hunt and survive in the mountains, to respect nature in the Cherokee Way, taking only what is needed, leaving the rest for nature to run its course.

Little Tree also learns the often callous ways of white businessmen and tax collectors, and how Granpa, in hilarious vignettes, scares them away from his illegal attempts to enter the cash economy. Granma teaches Little Tree the joys of reading and education. But when Little Tree is taken away by whites for schooling, we learn of the cruelty meted out to Indian children in an attempt to assimilate them and of Little Tree’s perception of the Anglo world and how it differs from the Cherokee Way.

A classic of its era, and an enduring book for all ages, The Education of Little Tree has now been redesigned for this twenty-fifth anniversary edition. ... Read more

It Could/Will Change Your Life!!
As our men's book club finished this book, a retired University Provost, said, "I'm a better person for having read this book..."

Strong stuff, yes, but "The Education of Little Tree" is a strong book, a very strong book.And, it is a book that will stay with you a lifetime.

There is all kind of mystery and intrigue about the author, Forrest (Asa) Carter, said to be among the most vile racial segregationists of the 60's.He supposedly wrote Alabama governor George C. Wallace's inaugural speech in which he proclaimed, "Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever..." Carter supposedly dropped out of the Ku Klux Klan because it wasn't hardline enough and he ran for governor of Alabama in 1970 (Thankfully finishing last!!!)

But the question is this--how could a man whose views were so vile and contemptable write a book so loving, kind, sentimental and wise as "The Education of Little Tree?"

One of the most poignant scenes comes when Little Tree and his Indian grandparents board a bus and are harrassed and ridiculed as they make their way to the back of the bus where Indians and Blacks--non-whites--were supposed to sit. How could a man like Asa Carter was supposed to be write a book, much less a scene, like this?

In the book, Little Tree talks of a "spirit mind" and a "body mind"---that is the only explanation for Asa Carter's ability to write such hate-filled rhetoric then write a book so loving, kind, moving and potentially life changing.

But there is another possibility: Carter's most vile hate-filled days were in the sixties. This book wss written in 1976.Perhaps, he,like George C. Wallace, the man for whom he supposedly wrote speeches, came to realize the error of his ways and changed. Perhaps his spirit mind began to overrule his body mind.

However you see it and no matter what you think or know about Forrest(Asa) Carter),read the book. If it doesn' make you a better person, it will most certainly elevate your mind, heart and spirit to higher things, higher values and higher realms.

Fitting Tribute to Grandparents
A friend of mine said something to me recently about how books find her in certain times of her life ... this book found me. I have no idea how I have it among my book shelves but after finishing this gorgeously written story, I was moved to tears, which doesn't happen very often these days.

This story is about a little five year old boy who lost his parents and went to live with his grandparents. His granpa was part Scots and part Indian. His granma was pure Indian. They both are of Cherokee nation, though it was not of the Nation that they remembered. This is the 1930s and during the roughest years that anyone in our history has experienced. Granpa may not be very literate, but I found his wisdom endearing. I found the descriptions of the mountains to be very poetic and how much nature permeates the stories from the birds chattering to the dogs following Little Tree everywhere. This story is written from a young child's eyes and one cannot help be swept into his story and see the things that are dear to his little heart.

This is probably the first book where I laughed and cried ... it's a moving tribute to his grandparents and to his Cherokee heritage. It is also a disturbing look into our past where people condemn those that don't think the same way nor worship the same as savages. I get the sense from reading this book that perhaps those who are doing the condemning are really the savages. I also did not appreciate the heartlessness of the authorities in removing Little Tree from his grandparents' care because they think they know better and the whipping? A horrible reminder of our past, that's for sure.

The love Carter has for his grandparents shine throughout the entire book. This is definitely a book that I would call a tribute. A tribute to his grandparents ... they took in an orphaned little boy and introduced him to a way of life that he would have never known because the Cherokee way of living is not common knowledge these days. I would definitely recommend this book to all serious readers. It is a gem to be treasured.

Education for a Senior Citizen
The book was recommended to me by a Bible Study teacher.I was almost incapable of putting it down until I finished.For a lot of people over 70 years of age, it is a review of their early childhood.I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Great Read for 'tweeners'
This was a very easy read that offers a lot of insight
into the Indian ways, culture. I think it would be a
great book for classroom discussion for students from
5th-7th grade.

THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE

A wonderful book for all ages, we are in our 70's. ... Read more
