1) Paperback Book Savage Sam (Perennial Library) by Harper Paperbacks. Savage Sam. By Fred Gipson. NY: Harper, originally 1962. Pbk. With a serialization in Colliers Magazine. Still in print after decades.

You remember Old Yeller. Well, Savage Sam is his son. I found an old, clean copy of Sam at St. Vincent de Paul´s Resale, and wondered; I´d never read it. Gipson´s simple eloquence picks up the now 16-year-old Travis and Little Arlis in Central Texas in the 1870s. After a brief introduction to Savage Sam, the boys and Lisabeth, a neighbor´s daughter, get captured by Apaches and a lone Comanche. And the chase is on. It´s a quick read and well written. Troubles and hardships are mixed with learning and character development (Travis comes to respect and even admire the Indians). Travis even knifes one of their captors to protect Lisabeth and joins the final battle. Sam, of course, tracks down the band and young trio. Travis is shown on the edge of manhood in the rough times. Shelves are better with a little sentimentality mixed with realism. How´s your shelf?

4) Paperback Book Savage Sam (Perennial Library) by Harper Paperbacks. This is a really good book. If you like Old Yeller and other adventure/dog stories (Sounder, Jim Kjlgaard books like Stormy and Big Red, ect.) this is a book for you. It has all the excitingness of Old Yeller, and is (nearly) as good.¤

5) Paperback Book Savage Sam (Perennial Library) by Harper Paperbacks. Savage Sam is an exciting and adventurous book. It takes place in the foothills of Texas in the past. Travis, the oldest son of 2, is working out in the field when he hears the Indians coming. Rounding up all the horses, Travis, his brother, Little Arliss, and another girl, Lisbeth, the Indians try to fight off Savage Sam, viciously fighting for his master´s life. Finally the Indians kick him off and ride off into the prairie with their loot. Over hill and dale, river and stream, the horses run at a death pace. Their riders are clinging to their bare backs, and Savage Sam is chasing after them, though far away. Travis tries to devise a plan to escape but is rounded up again. Will Travis, Little Arliss, and Lisbeth ever escape or be rescued? Still, Savage Sam is following tirelessly. He is getting closer now, though! The Indians are getting a little riled up, too. They keep going faster and faster! In addition, Sam is getting closer and closer! This is a wonderful cook but a little violent. I recommend this book to older elementary (5th grade) and young adults. It is an action-packed book full of love and tragedy. You´ll find out when you read this amazing book.¤
