War Club

"The loss of a war club during trading days along the Missouri River in North Dakota does not seem to be a life changing event. However, the object of a contest between Mandan and Lakota braves has centuries-old significance to the tribes. And to Adelia as she stumbles upon the mystery--her progress prompted by medallions--during her travels on the Lewis and Clark trail. War Club is a novelized version of Elizabeth Tidwell's memoirs along the trail and her journal of discovery and appreciation for Native American issues. For readers it is an opportunity to enjoy the sights of the West from another perspective. And, perhaps you will be inspired to examine your own understanding of Native American traditions, beliefs and responses to historical events and EuroAmerican attitudes that have so affected their ways of life."--Back cover
