Description
From the Book Back
A young Spaniard dreamed of great cities of gold, but found instead a challenging life among the native people of America’s Great Plains. Juan Garcia rode as an arrogant conquistador into the heart of an unexplored continent. One day, on a lone patrol, he was injured and lost amid a nation of “savages!” He knew he had little chance of surviving, or of ever returning to his homeland. But what happened from that day forward made a different man of Juan Garcia. He embarked upon a greater adventure than any he could have imagined. For, instead of hostility, he discovered a people who showed him a new way of life. And he, in turn, brought them a talisman, the Spanish Bit, that forever transformed their society. Set in the New World of the early 16th century, Don Coldsmith’s acclaimed novels recreate a time, a place, and a people that have been nearly lost to history. With the advent of the Spaniards, the horse culture came to the people of the Plains. In The Spanish Bit Saga we see history in the making through the eyes of those proud Native Americans who lived it.
