A haunting dream that will not relent pulls author Kent Nerburn back into the hidden world of Native America, where dreams have meaning, animals are teachers, and the "old ones" still have powers beyond our understanding. In this moving narrative, we travel through the lands of the Lakota and the Ojibwe, where we encounter a strange little girl with an unnerving connection to the past, a forgotten asylum that history has tried to hide, and complex, unforgettable characters.

Story
My father had an expression for a thing that turned out bad. He'd say it had gone west. But going west always sounded pretty good to me. After all, westwards is the path of the sun. And through as much history as I know of, people have moved west to settle and find freedom. But our world had gone north, truly gone north, and just how far north I was beginning to learn.

Story
A haunting dream that will not relent pulls author Kent Nerburn back into the hidden world of Native America, where dreams have meaning, animals are teachers, and the "old ones" still have powers beyond our understanding. In this moving narrative, we travel through the lands of the Lakota and the Ojibwe, where we encounter a strange little girl with an unnerving connection to the past, a forgotten asylum that history has tried to hide, and complex, unforgettable characters.

He begins his tale as a young man, and how he went down to the human underworld and got hold of the immortality meant for humans, long before Julius Caesar came into the Celtic lands; how he sailed West to America with the Irish monks searching for the Paradise of the Saints; and how he continuously went down into the land of the dead and returned.

Short but fun
I love tall tales, and this one was no exception. I liked the morals that were presented in the story and how Davey Crockett tries to fight for the rights of the Indians. Its just a fun book. I listened to the Audible audio version of this book narrated by J. Scott Bennett. I love Bennett as a narrator. He has a unique voice that was absolutely PERFECT for this book. If you enjoy tall tales, or reading about the times of Davey Crockett, I highly recommend this book.

A fun tall tale!
My rating: 4.5 stars
Audiobook narrator J. Scott Bennett rating: 5 stars
This was a really fun short story about Davy Crockett as he transforms from Congressman back to frontiersman. While it is a tall tale, there is likely some truth to the history being that Crockett was a congressman and eventually left congress due to his disagreement of the Indian Removal Act.
I like how these folk heroes have become legendary and eventually have grown to larger-than-life type stories (tall tales). It makes for a good read and can teach some morals and lessons along the way.
This tale is the perfect length and I agree with the age limits of 6 to 106. I am going to see what my eight-year-old son thinks about it. Though, I feel like l may need to give him a little history on Davy Crockett first. I like how the end of the recording has an author’s note and mentions some Davy Crockett movies like King of the Wild Frontier. I wish my library or Amazon Prime would have some of these movies so I can show them to my son!
I really enjoyed the narration of this book. He did a great job of changing his voice for different characters, including the bear!
I hope this author write more Davy Crockett stories (or similar tall tales of past folk heroes)!
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Lots of Fun!
This was a really short tall tale that's great for any age. With it only being 29 minutes long it's perfect for a bedtime story or that short car trip. It's a fun story about Davy Crockett trying to make life better for his Native friends. The narrator does a fantastic job and really was fun to listen to.

A great addition to the Tall tales
Like the author I grew up watching the Davy Crockett movies, had a coon skin cap, and the rifle from disney Frontierland. The author has done a great job creating and adding his own talk tale to the legend. Loved it. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher
