Indian Saddle Up

Here is the story of the most dramatic moment in the history of the American Indian, when an Indian mounted a horse for the first time and brought to his tribe and his people a whole new way of living. In this vivid account, the reader follows the strange circumstances that led Twisted Foot and Old Man Crazy to the verge of their discovery -- how they were captured and held in slavery, their remarkable escape. We see Twisted Foot, alone and relying only on instinct, as he cautiously approached the wild stallion, and watch step by step the events that were to change the lives of thousands of Indians. Glenn Balch, a man who has spent a lifetime riding and training horses, has written this amazing account out of years of research. To this research he has brought his skill as a storyteller. The result is a superb narrative of horses and Indians.
