About This Book

A young Comanche pony is traced from foalhood through training and service with his tribe, forming a close bond with a chief's daughter and inheriting the lore his mother passes on. The narrative depicts camp life, seasonal grazing, ceremonial customs, and the pony's practical role in travel, hunting, and skirmishes, while episodic episodes and an introductory commentary highlight themes of loyalty, cultural memory, and the pressures that changing frontiers place on traditional ways of life.
