About This Book

The narrative follows a youth raised among a Plains tribe who straddles two cultures after reentering white settlements; he learns tribal ways, forms friendships, and falls in love with a newcomer. Tensions rise as rival tribal and military forces encroach, leading to hunts, skirmishes, and tests of loyalty. Encounters with elders, warriors, and settlers push him to choose between identities while confronting prejudice, courage, and fate. Episodes of transformation, ceremonial medicine, and personal sacrifice shape a rugged coming-of-age set against frontier landscapes, ending in a dramatic resolution that examines belonging, honor, and the costs of cultural collision.

Transcriber's Note

Apparent printer's errors have been retained, unless stated below.

Punctuation, capitalization, accents and formatting markup have been made consistent.

Missing page numbers are attributed to blank or unnumbered pages in the original text or moved illustrations.

Page numbers cited in the Table of Illustrations refer to their orignal placement in the text. Illustrations have been moved nearer their mention in the text, and link destinations have been adjusted accordingly.

Page 34, "Ba-chua-hish-a" changed to "Ba-cher-hish-a" for consistency. (Ba-cher-hish-a sobbed and wailed all night in her lodge, while the foster-father walked outside, speculating endlessly with his friends.)

Page 94, "trial" changed to "trail". (Now we must blind our trail; their scouts will find it in the morning.)

Page 5 of the Advertisements, "These" changed to "There". (There is interwoven with it a play of mild philosophy and of pointed wit.)

Page 12 of the Advertisements, "John" changed to "Frederic". (By Frederic Remington)

Page 14 of the Advertisements has been left as originally published. The accompanying comment for "Aunt Jimmy's Will" by Mabel Osgood Wright has been left to read: "Barbara has written no more delightful book than this."
