1 HEODORE ROOSEVELT once said that Mr/ 

 Curtis has caught glimpses, such as few white men ever 

 catch, into the strange spiritual and mental life of the 

 Indians. In this book the author shares these glimpses 

 with his readers. 



The story centers about Motana, the son of the great 

 War Chief. The mountain vigil, the wooing and win- 

 ning of Naida, the raid of Yaklus and his warriors, the 

 rescue of the captured Naida, and the final victory, cel- 

 ebrated by ceremonial dances, are all described. The 

 action is rapid and the story is told in the direct, simple 

 style of the true epic.
