A Visit with Chief Gray Lock and Other Abenaki Stories : Book Review by Eric Bye

This is a book like few others, from an author like few oth-ers. For many years Peskunck Larrabee has been a known author and illustrator in the Northeast and beyond. He is the illustrator for the “Junior Blasts” column in Muzzle Blasts magazine, and he has contributed stories and artwork to Muzzleloader, Black Powder Times, and other publications dealing with American history and Native cultures. Because of his dedication to Native ways he was accepted into the Abenaki-Sokuakiiak Nation of Missisquoi in a Sweat lodge ceremony some three decades ago. He has long been known and respected as an ambassador of Abenaki culture to modern inhabitants of the North-east.
