Medicine Hat Horse II

About the Book

Little Running Deer has managed to escape from the reservation where he has spent his entire life. Alone except for his precious horse, Silver Moon Dancing, he rides off into the wilderness of the Black Hills in the hope of finding his brothers, who left the reservation a couple of years ahead of him. Little Running Deer runs away because he fears the American army is coming to take his horse away, but in his haste, he finds himself and his horse in much worse danger than he anticipated. He meets friends along his journey, as well as difficulties, and gets help from the last place he expected it.

About the Author

Having taught U.S. History for 23 years, I became interested in the plight of the Native Americans through out our history. Combine that with a personal history of loving and owning horses, I found that there was a particular horse that Native Americans valued, the Medicine Hat Horse. At one time I owned a Medicine hat pony where I live with my husband of 47 years, on a small farm in rural Northern Illinois. I have one son and three awesome granddaughters who live near me. I began writing my first book, Medicine Hat Horse, decades ago. It begins the story of Little Running Deer and his beloved horse and how he must escape. The second continues his story.
