Red Book of Animal Stories
by Andrew Lang H. J. Ford"Leviathan, that crooked serpent . . . the dragon that is in the Sea." This quote is from the Bible. "If there were never any Dragons, why did all sorts of nations tell stories about them?" asks Andrew Lang in this classic and colorfulRed Book of Animal Stories. Not only do we find fiery dragons here, but dangerous dogs and demons; bears, bats, boars, and baboons; greyhounds and griffins; cows and crocodiles; hyenas and hippopotamuses; snakes, saints, and sheep; monkeys, mermaids, and mammoths; lions and llamas; and dozens of others from the wide and wonderful animal world. What a menagerie to excite the sensesand lure the adventurous! Lang, a noted historian, was also an incurableromantic-hence his great success in writing children's books. These stories, first published in 1899, were selected and edited by Lang. The ones about Tom the Bear are from the French work on natural history by Alexander Dumas. Most of the tales in the chapter "Thieving Dogs and Horses" were published by Sir Walter Scott. The ones about foxes are by Miss B. Grieve, who was a great friend of foxes and took their side when they were hunted by hounds. "After all, the fun is to pursue the fox, not to catch him." Lang and Mrs. Lang wrote some ofthese tantalizingly human tales, while others are from French and German books.Other titillating titles and tremendous stories are: "The Lion and the Saint," "The Ugliest Beast in the World" (rhinoceros), "The Story of Beowulf and the Fire Drake," "Hyenas and Children," "Kanny, the Kangaroo," " On the Trail of a Maneater," "Two Big Dogs and a Little One , " and " In the American Desert."People who live in the great American desert must expect to find strange sights, sounds, and dangers, as this Western saga by Captain Mayne Reid compellingly relates. The battle of the snakes, which had threatened settlers one day, turned into a deadly struggle between a big rattler and a bigger boa constrictor. Thestruggle also involved a weasel and a squirrel; only one of the reptiles lived to strike again. Preoccupied with myth and folklore, Lang brought to his stories an art and understanding possessed by very few writers on the subject. Nor does it stretch the imagination to call these stories little classics that have grown bigger with the test of time. Sixty-eight excellent and evocative illustrations enhance the stories and the reader's enjoyment of them.

Red Cloud's War: Brave Eagle's Account of the Fetterman Fight
by Paul Goble"We are brave and ready to fight for our lands…. I will go now and I will fight you. As long as I live, I will fight you for the last hunting grounds of my people," said Red Cloud, war chief of the Oglala Lakota, to Colonel Carrington. The year was 1866, the Civil War had just ended, and the Bozeman Trail was the shortest route for prospectors to reach the gold rush territory of Montana—except that it passed straight through the lands of the powerful Oglala Lakota! When the US government demanded the construction of forts along the trail, the situation quickly dissolved into war. Captain William Fetterman had proudly boasted that he could destroy the entire Lakota nation with just 80 men. Red Cloud, with the support of Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, had other ideas.In this commemorative edition, marking the 150th anniversary of Red Cloud&’s War, Goble recounts the tale of events through the eyes of Brave Eagle, a fictional young Lakota warrior. This new edition features an original never-before-published layout, updated and edited text, digitally enhanced artwork, and a new foreword by Robert Lewis, a Cherokee, Navaho, and Apache storyteller.
Red Cloud: A Lakota Story of War and Surrender
by S. D. Nelson“Readers will appreciate this complex look at Chief Red Cloud, who under duress, unimaginable trauma, and starvation made a difficult choice.” —School Library Journal (starred review)Red Cloud (1822–1909) was a great warrior and chief of the Lakota. Told from his perspective, Red Cloud: A Lakota Story of War and Surrender describes the events that brought him to prominence as a leader of his people and how he came to surrender them to the wasichus (White Man), ending their way of life on the Great Plains.From the intrusion of white settlers into Lakota territory, to the treaties signed with the U.S. government, and to the many subsequent battles, Red Cloud explains how the Lakota became the only nation to win a war against the U.S. Army on American soil. However, unlike fellow warriors Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, Red Cloud eventually came to accept the inevitable advance of white civilization. He submitted to change and moved his followers onto a reservation. The story concludes with Red Cloud’s trip to the East Coast, where he visited New York City and met President Ulysses S. Grant.Award-winning author and member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe S. D. Nelson reinterprets the nineteenth-century Lakota ledger-art style to give authenticity to the story as he brings to light one of the most controversial members of the Lakota tribe, Red Cloud. Backmatter includes a timeline.“An impressive amount of information movingly and handsomely conveyed.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)“The story, at once inspiring and sad, is expanded and enriched by Nelson’s beautiful ink, watercolor, and colored-pencil illustrations executed in the nineteenth-century Lakota ledger-book style.” —Booklist (starred review)
