Silver
by Thomas C. HinkleEverything happened at once. A dark, two-legged creature leaped out from behind the boulder and a snake-like coil shot toward Silver. The loop shot a little too far, striking Silver’s head as it went. Scared stiff, Silver lunged backward, and, as he did so, stepped into the loop with one hind foot. Miguel saw and instantly jerked and held. Silver let out a squeal of terror. Old Dun had seen the unbelievable--a man almost up to her colt! With ears laid back and her white teeth gleaming, she went up that slope with the single, sincere purpose of scattering Miguel over the hillside. So begins the first of many adventures for Silver, the pure white colt of smart Old Dun. He was beautiful to see, his matchless, pure white coat, his long silver mane and tail streaming in the wind, his proud head up, his great dark eyes shining. "Did you ever see a hoss run like that little silver feller?" exclaimed Charlie Barr. "Silver! That'll be his name and I sure must hurry and get my brand on him before some other feller does." That, as you will find, was not so easy.

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.
