Description
Professor Hibben has written a fascinating account of the Old West as told to him by Juan de Dios. Juan de Dios was a Navajo by birth and was captured by the Spanish in a slaving raid. He was 21 years old when Lincoln freed the slaves -- Indian as well as Negro. He was 90 years old when he recounted his exciting tales to Professor Hibben. These tales are of some of the most famous Indian hunters of the Old West and are all authentic. The stories told to Professor Hibben by Juan de Dios provide insight into the mind of the Indian as well as insight into the Old West as viewed by the Indian -- a truly different perspective. Professor Hibben actually rode with Juan de Dios to the places where the events took place. This highly readable work is a mixture of hunting and Southwestern Americana! - Jacket flap.
