The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
"Bronze Feather, a young Arapahoe Indian, was shocked and angry when he first saw the white man's method of rounding up horses. The low-flying airplane, and its sirens screaming, terrified the horses. It sent them on a mad chase ahead of the sound, and many of the crazed horses died from exhaustion before they could be corralled.
So it seemed more than justifiable to Bronze Feather to keep the tiny orphaned colt, abandoned by the fleeing horses, instead of turning him over to the party of wranglers. The boy hoped to train the colt with kindness, as his grandfather had once trained wild horses in the days before white men and airplanes appeared on the Wyoming desert. But the colt sickened in captivity, and because he loved it, Bronze Feather returned Wildwing to the herd.
This story of how Bronze Feather eventually gains the trust and love of Wildwing, and comes to realize there is good in both the old and the new ways, is rich and rewarding reading. Phoebe Erickson's many pictures add life and flavor to the words."
