Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 'A celebration of storytelling' - N. Scott Momaday. While ascending the Missouri in 1804, Lewis and Clark met trader Jean Valle, who had wintered in Cheyenne camps near the Black Hills and who recounted extensive horse-raiding upon Spanish settlements. ""Trail of the Red Butterfly"" is the first novel to depict such a raid through Cheyenne eyes. Cheyenne Kit Fox headman Stone learns that his twin, Whirlwind, has gone missing on an 1807 foray into northeastern New Spain. Gathering an eclectic party of Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Gataka warriors, women and children, and a wolf dog, Stone sets out from his camp on the Upper Republican River, present-day eastern Colorado. Stones relentless search takes his party across the High Plains of Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas; through the Davis and Chisos mountains; into the Bolsn de Mapim; and, past the great laguna to the Nazas River, where finally he picks up his brothers trail. With the help of Maria, a Hiaqui woman whose freedom they buy, the party doggedly follows the trail in hostile country, through towns and ranches to dramatic conclusion on the Camino Real. Relying on Juan Pedro Walkers 1805 map and a distinguished career in anthropological research, Karl Schlesier conjures a convincing journey into the unknown, driven in part by the lure of plunder and distant places, but ultimately sustained by a brothers determination to recover his other half. While ascending the Missouri in 1804, Lewis and Clark met trader Jean Valle, who had wintered in Cheyenne camps near the Black Hills and who recounted extensive horse-raiding upon Spanish settlements. This novel depicts such a raid through Cheyenne eyes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Praise for Karl H. Schlesier's ""Trail of the Red Butterfly"": 'He writes with the eyes of an eagle' - N. Scott Momaday. 'An original jewel of Western fiction' - ""Midwest Book Review"". 'A delight to read' - Benet Exton, O.S.B. In ancient creation tales of Indian tribes of the American Northwest, nasawaylu, ""Old Man Coyote"", was the spirit who finished the world started by the Supreme Being. A master of animals, holy person, and trickster, nasawaylu sometimes bestowed special gifts on an Indian youth seeking a guardian spirit. But in the 1870s young Nez Perce John Seton struggles to determine whether Coyotes message is a gift or a trick. Reared first in an Anglo township in north central Idaho, then on the reservation, and finally on the Salmon River with the free-roving Lamtama band, Seton has always followed the fortunes of his mother. After her death he chooses to stay in the camp of old Hemene, a respected Lamtama leader. Still a novice in all three of the sharply contrasting worlds he has known, Seton is drawn irresistibly and irreversibly into the Nez Perce War of 1877. His quest to find a place in the clash of cultures is a magical saga, a search for meaning in the fabled Tricksters message. The events to which Seton is an eyewitness such as the Nez Perce march of 1877 are recorded in history, masterfully woven here by Karl Schlesier into a fabric of compelling fiction and human drama. In the 1870s young Nez Perce John Seton struggles to determine whether Coyotes message is a gift or a trick.
