A Classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Like another reviewer, I first read this novel at an early age. I have probably passed through all of its pages ten times since, for the beautiful, spare way in which Capps yields language and for the story's consistent ability to move my soul. There is some explicit violence within, which should not be partaken of by a youngster, but the most virulent scene is relatively simple to bypass by those of mature years. Don't let this classic slip by.
Great intro to Southwest Indian Culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I read this book when I was in the eigth grade, that was 1969. It was spellbinding.....an account of cative torture was probably too unsettling for a thirteen year old, but otherwise, awesome. It introduced me to Comanche culture and started an interest in American Indian history that has continued to this day. Fabulous read!
