Book Reviews of Panther in the Sky
Book Review: Panther In The Sky
Summary: 5 Stars
In Panther, Thom did what he does best. He takes characters from history, erases them from the beautiful lithographs in our textbooks, and shows us their human side. Having done so, he then restores their demigod-like qualities by fitting them into the lifestyle of their era and showing us how they struggled and suffered to reach their goal. History books may say, for instance, that "they made an arduous journey...". Thom carries you every step of the way; the freezing, bloody, bare feet, the starvation & deprivation, the determination to reach the end that earned these people their places in history. To read Thom's works is to know his people, our icons.Book Review: Panther in the Sky
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing historical account of an amazing era. This book changed the way I look at life, it has that kind of effect. I discovered an admiration of the Shawnees and Tecumseh that I share with many. I have recommended this books to dozens of people and they all thank me when they are done.Book Review: Panther in the Sky
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished Panther in the Sky and I loved every minute of it. The only other historical novel of this type that I enjoyed as much was Follow the River. Even if you don't normally read this type of book you will totally enjoy this one!Book Review: Reavling look into the life of a true Patriot & his people.
Summary: 5 Stars
Before reading this fastinating story of a true Patriot. I was proud of my Scotch-Irish heritage. My ancestors were among this first to settle in Kentucky. James Alexander Thom's writing brought to light the injustices the Native Americans were subjected to because of the non-stop stream of European-Americans to the west. Tecumseh was a leader in this struggle.
Panther in the Sky certainly changed my attitude.
Mark SmithBook Review: Superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
Panther In The Sky is historical fiction at its absolute finest. It details the life and times of the famous Shawnee war chief in a compelling and realistic fashion. The descriptions of the native American way of life, spirituality and bloody battles with the encroaching white man are riviting. This is an epic that I found impossible to put down. This was my first Thom book--I intend to read all of his work. A truly great book.
