Eagle from the Dawn: An Historical Novel about Lewis and Clark and the Nez Perces (The Journals of Kevin Murphy Book 3)

Eagle from the Dawn is the third book in an exciting adventure series, The Journals of Kevin Murphy, in which Native American and American history intertwine. Kevin and a Nez Perce Indian friend, Peter Taksoukt, follow the Lewis and Clark route into Idaho. Kevin gets permission to ride his beloved Tipyahlanah Kaupu, Eagle from the Dawn, a willful mustang, ill-suited to the rigorous discipline required of him on the treacherous mountain trails. When the horse is lost, Kevin learns the invaluable life lesson of letting go in a Nez Perce sweathouse. Only then is he ready to meet Lily Fitzgerald at the powwow in Idaho.
