{"product_id":"the-last-algonquin","title":"The Last Algonquin","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs recently as 1924  a lone Algonquin Indian lived quietly in Pelham Bay Park  a wild and isolated corner of New York City. Joe Two Trees was the last of his people  and this is the gripping story of his bitter struggle  remarkable courage  and constant quest for dignity and peace.  By the 1840s  most of the members of Joes Turtle Clan had either been killed or sold into slavery  and by the age of thirteen he was alone in the world. He made his way into Manhattan  but was forced to flee after killing a robber in self defense; from there  he found backbreaking work in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Finally  around the time of the Civil War  Joe realized there was no place for him in the White world  and he returned to his birthplace to live out his life alone-suspended between a lost culture and an alien one. Many years later  as an old man  he entrusted his legacy to the young Boy Scout who became his only friend  and here that young boys son passes it on to us.  Theodore Kazimiroff  the son of Joe Two Treess young confidant  writes historical  environmental  and natural history articles for several magazines. He lives in Bayville  New York.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952070127669,"sku":"ByrdShop_0802775179","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780802775177.jpg?v=1770376332","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-last-algonquin","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
