Description
In 1870, the Lone Eaters, a small band of Blackfeet Indians, are living their immemorial life in the Two Medicine Territory of Montana. Their traditional way of life is marked by hunting and occasional horse-taking raids against the enemy Crow. However, the arrival of whites on their land signals a significant change. Fools Crow, a young warrior and medicine man, has foreseen the consequences of resistance to the newcomers. He knows that punishment will be swift and severe if they choose to resist. This powerful portrait of his people's bygone way of life was first published in 1986 and has since become a major contribution to Native American literature. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition represents a significant milestone in the history of the series, which has been leading publisher of classic literature for over 70 years with more than 1,700 titles.
