Silver Spurs to Monterey
by Page CooperYoung Tom Larkin, first American born in California, wanted most of all to have a horse of his own. Not a plodder like his father’s but one with dash. Such a horse was the General, a spirited and dangerous buckskin that had to be gentled if Tom was going to be allowed to keep him. It was unthinkable for the son of the American consul in Monterey to own a horse with a reputation of being a killer. Yet Tom was determined to have him, and with the help of his friends, Carlos and Black Eagle, he learned to manage the horse--to a degree. Into Monterey, center of bustling activity in the 1840’s when California briefly held its independence, came Spanish aristocrats and such famous explorers as Major John Fremont and Kit Carson. The General’s fame reached even their ears, and Tom swelled with their praise. More than ever he wanted only the best for his buckskin, and he longed to earn a jingling pair of Spanish silver spurs. Glory for Tom and his horse was waiting, too, in the hills and valleys of the Far West where they shared with Fremont and Carson the excitement of danger and adventure. Page Cooper, well known for her many books about horses, has combined her skill in that field with a knowledge and understanding of America’s past. On these pages an absorbing story unfolds, based on true happenings, sure to capture the eager interest of all young readers.
