The Last Algonquin

by Theodore Kazimiroff

A lone Algonquin Indian lived quietly in Pelham Bay Park, a wild and isolated part of New York City, in the 19th century. Joe Two Trees was the last of his people, and this is the beautiful and affecting story of his quest for dignity and peace, while torn between a lost culture and an alien one. The setting of The Last Algonquin resonates locally in the Bronx, Pelham Bay Park, and the grounds of The New York Botanical Garden.

Note: Author Ted Kazimiroff is the son of Dr. Theodore Kazimiroff, who worked at the Garden for many years, and for whom the stretch of Southern Boulevard in front of the Garden is named.
