Lone Hunter's Gray Pony (Chaparral Books) par Donald Emmet Worcester
My dad gave me a copy of this when it first came out. Nice book, but I haven't read it in years.
A boys adventure tale. The writing is a bit stiff, but adequate.
In late fall, two Oglala boys save their camp from attack by marauding Cheyennes by igniting a grassfire. As the Cheyenne rush to leave the approaching flames, the boys are seen and taken captive. Because they don't show fear, they are adopted by some Cheyenne families but others in that village state their intention to kill the boys before spring. Despite being closely watched, the boys escape one snowy evening on stolen snowshoes. They are tracked over the mountain pass and are saved by hiding in a hibernating bear's den. When the Cheyenne trackers enter the cave, the boys wake the bear. The bear attacks the Cheyenne and returns to sleep. The boys sneak out, leave the snowshoes for the 2 injured trackers who need them to survive & return home. The tale ends with the gesture of peace between the 2 tribes.… (plus d'informations)

The book is a historical overview of the Apache people; from the invasion and expulsion of their land, a continual struggle to maintain their culture and racial attributes, and their ability to adapt and survive through subjugation. From the coming of the Spaniards to the Anglos to conflicts among differing bands and treachery of government officials, their history was one of constant warfare and survival until they were confined to the reservations.
Great read about a man who liberated most of South America from Spanish rule.
