The hardcover edition of the Abby Award-winning autobiography. Orphaned at age five, Carter lived in Tennessee with his Cherokee grandparents who gave him his Indian name of Little Tree.
Annotation: The best-selling 1976 memoir of life growing up as an orphan on a Cherokee reservation in backwoods Tennessee during the Great Depression. Later made into a movie, the story was eventually revealed to be a hoax in one of the most celebrated literary scandals of modern times. Forrest Carter was in fact the pseudonym of Asa Carter, a white supremacist and Ku Klux Klan member.
