Redwall Wiki | Brian Jacques and Redwall Information

Sam Squirrel, originally known as Silent Sam, was the son of Jess and Mr. Squirrel. He was known as 'Silent Sam' at first because he never spoke.

During the Late Rose Summer Wars, he guided Matthias back to Redwall Abbey after he became lost. He helped stop Cluny the Scourge's battering ram attack by finding a hornet nest, which the Redwallers then dropped on top of the ram. Basil Stag Hare gave Sam a small dagger, which he used when he appointed himself as Cornflower Fieldmouse's bodyguard during her rounds to feed the sentries.

At the final battle against Cluny, he steered Ambrose Spike around, since the hedgehog was curled into a ball, and couldn't see where he was going. Seasons later, Sam began to talk, relating the details of the Late Rose Summer Wars to Mattimeo, the young son of Matthias and Cornflower. The next summer was then aptly called the Summer of the Talking Squirrel.

Later, Sam was kidnapped by Slagar the Cruel along with Mattimeo, Cynthia Bankvole, and Tim and Tess Churchmouse, but was rescued by his mother, Matthias, Basil Stag Hare, and their friends and returned to Redwall.
