Description: One of the most inspirational friendship stories of all time, this wonderful book tells how an Indian chief named Tomo-chi-chi made peace--instead of war--with newly arrived English settlers in a coastal territory that would ultimately become known as Savannah, Georgia. It was the early 1700s when General James Oglethorpe founded a colony of English emigrants on land inhabited by Tomo-chi-chi and his tribe of Yamacraw indians. Tomo-chi-chi reached out to Oglethorpe in friendship, completely eschewing any notion of hostility. The two men worked together to build a mutually beneficial relationship. So impressed was Oglethorpe with Tomo-chi-chi's skills as a mediator that he took him to England one year, where the chief met King George II at Kensington Palace, among many other dignitaries. Needless to say, Tomo-chi-chi is a beloved figure in Savannah history. It's an amazing story told beautifully by award-winning author Sara H. Banks. Richly illustrated throughout. Paperback--76 pages. Signed and inscribed by the author. A great read for all ages. 9 3/8" x 7 1/4"
