- Synopsis
- Out in the land of giant mesas, and beyond the bright-hued desert, lived Little Falcon, son of War Cloud, chief of the tribe. Following custom, the lad selected fom his father's herd a horse to carry him on his buffalo hunts and to be a companion in the years to come. War Cloud was keenly disappointed when Litle Falcon selected a mare, but the mare soon gave birth to a colt, Shadow, who had in his veins the blood of a great wild stallion. Little Falcon began co train his painted pony. Slowly, patiently, be worked to bring out the virtues the gentle mare and the fierce old stallion had bequeathed the colt, but fate, in the form of a hungry mountain lion, brought an end to the lad's peace and sent the pony to the band of wild horses his sire led. Indian Paint is the story of Shadow's life with these wild horses and of Little Falcon's search for his loved pony. They both had encounters with ruthless horse hunters, hunger, wolves, and the winter cold which is the great enemy of the wild life in the West. Glenn Balch is a topnotch teller of animal tales. There is excitement in every page of Indian Paint - the real excitement that is part of the West, portrayed by a man who knows that country well.
