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!
Foreword:
A tiny village on a plateau by a river bank – a church, a school, a house for the teacher and a dozen log cabins. That was all. It was in the Standing Rock Indian reservation in the Dakotas, and here Sioux Indian children lived.
Wind and dust and hot sun were their daily companions. Cut off from the world by a rough, at times impassable road, they ran and played and were happy. I visited them in 1950, talked to them and loved them.
Since then, the school has been closed, the Indian families have moved away and the cabins are empty.
But here is their story.
