Michael Gentle Deer is a shy but stubborn fourteen year old, raised
by the great Shawnee Tecumseh after the untimely death of Michael's
parents. Michael is afraid to be left alone. He has heard that a
death spirit, leads dead bodies into heaven from the Island called
Turtle, however although frightened he believes he will find
Tecumseh there. He strikes out for the island to find his friend.
As Michael searches for the Indian burial ground to find his lost
Shawnee family, a mean-spirited British sergeant captures him and
conscripts him into the Army. Not cut out for army life, he would
rather draw pictures than fight. Ridiculed and made to serve menial
tasks, Michael finally wins the respect of the soldiers by his care
of a sick child in the barracks. After fighting in the last battle
of the War of 1812 on Mackinac Turtle Island, with the help of an
Indian girl and a hunch-back Sioux, Michael finds his family and
his home.
