Produktbeschreibung

Bradley Pino was born in 1926 atop the ancient Acoma Pueblo mesa 357 feet above the desert floor. Brad was taught reverence for nature by his grandfather, hunting and fishing by his father, faith by his mission priest, and bravery by historys face-painted warriors. Brads father is a proud full-blooded Acoma Pueblo Indian. His mother, Catherine, is Anglo. Brads nemesis calls him a half-breed.

Forced to leave his boyhood home and attend a public high school, an Anglo school, Brad is faced with cultural changes and bullying over the attention of a popular Anglo girl. Unexpected events occur that take Brad and his brother-friend Ashkii Dighin far from home to face life-threatening challenges and a brush with World War II.

When great responsibility is placed in Brads hands, he responds by performing the most selfless act of his life.

Autorenporträt

As a part-time resident of Santa Fe. New Mexico, Lester developed a deep fondness for the Southwest, its people, history, landscape and flavors.

Lester traveled the back country, oftentimes, on horseback. He has researched the Acoma Pueblo and its ancient mission from inside its walls, where he was inspired by the emotion in the historian's voice as he spoke of the invasion by the Spanish Conquistadores, the Pueblo Revolt, and the enslavement of his ancestors.
