Across from Indian Shore

---

"First things first", his big brother John said, and Luke knew he meant staking tomato plants long before they would need to be staked.
" First things first", Pa had said, and he meant tramping through the woods, breaking a new path, trailing a racoon. And Luke agreed with Pa.
But after Pa died, Luke always seemed to be in trouble because the spent even more time rambling off by himself, dreaming of Indians, exploring caves, or just lying on his back looking up through the tall trees.
And always Luke was thinking about Pa's promise ... to row him across the lake to meet the real Indian Princess who lived on the opposite shore.
The Princess was the great-great-great-great-great-great granddaughter of Massasoit, the last of her family, and the last of a wonderful tribe. But now the chance of meeting her seemed very dim, for John, who was working so hard to turn their summer cottage into a year round home, had no time to take him. And Luke wasn't big and strong enough to row the boat across the wide lake himself.
Then, one day when John had gone to towm anf Luke knew his mother's life depended oh his getting help promptly, he just had to be big and strong.
That was the beginning of his friendship with the Princess and of another experience, proving that Luke was worthy of the title she bestowed on him, Chasatonga - "Little Big Man".
