Opis

Western writer Alton Pryor has brought forth a collection of important moments in history. These vignettes present a virtual digest of historical happenings that are fun to read and educational as well. In the words of the author, "My books are short, to the point and are excellent reading material for persons with a busy lifestyle." Readers will learn about the poignant story of the Seven Little Indians. When a tribe stole a band of horses, Indian fighters killed the Indians that stole them. In doing so, they found seven little Indian babies on their hands. Their problem was what would they do with them? Read also about the Headless Horseman, an actual happening in Texas. In this book, there are stories such as: The Legend of Blackberry Hill, John Colter's six mile naked run from Indians, The Rape of Monterey, the Comanche Indian chief Quanah Parker, and the greatest land buy in America.
