by Mari Sandoz.  Softbound, 192 pages, 5" x 8".  Without ever leaving the world of a Cheyenne tribe in the 1830's, the author creates a youthful protagonist many readers will recognize in themselves.  Young Elk is expected to be a warrior, but killing even an enemy sickens him. He would rather catch and tame the mustangs that run in herds.  His determination to be a horsecatcher will require a moral and physical courage equal to that of any warrior. (Fiction)
