It tells the story of a young warrior that is slowly forced into a white man's world, and losing his identity as a warrior. He became a rodeo star by riding his broncos to death, becoming a legend for this. Forgetting his lessons of respect for all living things.....Finally he finds his way back to his inner peace, and reunites with his heritage and past, learning from the lessons he learned as a young warrior, and from the white mans world. Very good story and lesson. Awesome book. Tom Black Bull is raised in the old ways of the Ute, by his mother and father, but when tragedy strikes, he is forced to live in the white man's world, living, but never belonging. This was an intense read, the story that could be that of any of us, with pain in our past, confusion of who we are, and fear of what we are to become.

Over the years, I've often fondly thought of this book as the one that opened up the world of literature to me, though I could remember very little of it, only that I really liked it. I decided to read it again a few years ago to see if I could find a little of that first magic I felt so long ago. Of course, it wasn't the same after so many years and so many books, but I found it to be good writing and a good story, and I will read it again. ( )
