"The very simplicity of the writing, at times almost terse, makes more vivid the tragedy of the eviction and the danger and triumph of the return." The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Children's Literature - Shirley Nelson

Fifteen year old Morning Star and her best friend Running Deer are tending their sheep when they are kidnapped by Spaniards and sold as slaves to wealthy women. Separated from her friend and her Navaho family, Morning Star immediately begins to plot ways to get away. With the help of another young Navaho, she and Running Deer are able to escape and return to their village. On the way, they meet warriors from the village who assist them. Tall Boy, the young warrior Morning Star hopes to marry, is wounded in the conflict and loses the use of one arm. Life in the village is not as they hoped, however, because the villagers are soon driven from their homes by the Long Knives, Americans who are claiming the land. This short novel presents the heart-wrenching story of the Long Walk of 1863 through 1865 as seen through the eyes of a young woman. The Navaho people were driven to Fort Sumner where they were held prisoner for several years. However, Morning Star's story is hopeful. She and her new husband Tall Boy are able to escape and begin a new life near Canyon de Chelly, their original home. Reviewer: Shirley Nelson
