Comanche Dawn - paperback
Mike Blakely
Price $ 5.85
Not only a heartfelt expression of the author's love of horses, this fine novel also offers a detailed study of life
among those Blakely considers to have been the greatest horsemen of all time. The tale begins with the birth of a
boy, first called Shadow and later known as Horseback, on the day the first horse is seen and eaten in the
Shoshone encampment of the half-starved Burnt Meat People. It then takes us on the boy's journey into manhood
as he becomes a trusted leader and fierce warrior, and his people, the True Humans, made mobile by their
mounts, evolve into the Comanche Nation and the most feared fighters on the southern plains. Painstakingly
researched and carefully written, the novel is an obvious labor of love that merits comparison with such established
classics as Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, Little Big Man, and Hanta Yo. Although it is fiction, Comanche Dawn
should be required reading for anyone wishing to know about life among the early Plains Indians. Budd Arthur

Summer Of Pearls
Mike Blakely

Ben Crowell remembers the Great Caddo Lake Pearl Rush of 1874. He was fourteen that year, and his home, the
riverboat community of Port Caddo, was dying. By the end of the summer, the pearl boom was over, Port Caddo
was doomed, and the mystery over who killed Judd Kelso began. It took Ben forty years to solve the mystery, and
once he did, the proof came only for him to witness. He is the only living soul who will know what happened that
September night in 1874.
