Shadow of an Indian Star Bill and Cindy Paul Synergy Books ISBN: 0-9755922-2-X Non-Fiction, Biography, History Reviewed by Dr. Tami Brady

Shadow of an Indian Star looks at the lives of three generations of Paul men: Smith Paul, Sam Paul, and Joe Paul. One of the authors (Bill Paul) of this book is the direct descendent Smith Paul and his son Sam. Bill spent much of his life hearing what he thought were tall tales about his ancestors. Bill’s co-author, wife Cindy, had also heard plenty of these stories and decided to do a little research to find out if any of these amazing accounts were even close to reality. To Bill and Cindy’s surprise not only were the recollections true but there were lots of other tales that they’d never even heard.

The three Paul men in this story are as similar as they are different. Each man was full of full of spirit and adventure. Each would appear lost to many until he found his calling. Each man would struggle with family relationships, particularly in love and father-son relationships. Smith Paul the white man adopted by the Chickasaw Nation; Sam Paul the hotheaded sheriff and senator; and Joe Paul the murderer.
