The Education of Little Tree
(A) Suspicions about the book and its author began when members of the Cherokee Nation identified many inaccurate facts in the book. Further investigation revealed that The Education of Little Tree is not a memoir at all. It is a complete work of fiction. Forrest Carter is actually Asa Earl Carter, who was a former member of several white supremacist organizations. Carter also worked as a speechwriter for George Wallace, an Alabama governor who favored segregation.
(B) In 1976, the memoir The Education of Little Tree, by Forrest Carter, instantly became a best seller. It is the story of a boy who was raised by his Cherokee grandparents. They gave him the name Little Tree. The book centers on the time Little Tree was age five and six and learned about Native American values like honor, simple living, and respect for nature. He was later put into an orphanage, where he faced discrimination for his Native American ways. Little Tree was eventually released from the orphanage, but the experience taught him about the harshness and prejudices of the world.
(C) After Carter himself ran unsuccessfully for Governor of Alabama in 1970, he changed his first name and embarked on a writing career. Despite the false pretenses under which the book was written, The Education of Little Tree has sold millions of copies and is still regarded as a book of great literary merit. In 1991, it won the prestigious American Booksellers Association “Book of the Year” award. This raises the question of whether a book that was written in such a deceptive way should be validated at all by awards or admiration of any kind.
