Palo Duro Mustangs

Description

Two Feathers, a fourteen-year-old half-blood Comanche, and his adopted brother, Will Whitaker, struggle to keep their home on the Pecos River Ranch. The boys are relentlessly attacked by Two Feathers’ uncle, Yellow Hawk, who hates them and is obsessed with stealing Buck, Will’s faithful buckskin stallion. The army won’t help. Their neighbors can’t help. So, the boys must fight their battles on the harsh, barren Staked Plains alone.
The brutal winter and Yellow Hawk’s attacks to capture Buck threaten the ranch’s survival. Is Two Feathers Comanche enough to put his dream of his own herd of horses at risk by capturing mustangs in the Comanche stronghold of Palo Duro Canyon, the home of Yellow Hawk?
Two Feathers must fight his vicious uncle and the angry war raging inside him. Who does he want to be—a half-Comanche living in a Comanche world but forced onto a reservation, or a half-white living in a white man’s world where he is feared and hated? Can he find a way to be both?
