The Way to Rainy Mountain (Momaday Collection)

In this enchanting book Scott Momaday retells myths of his people and describes the Indian way of life he knew as a child. In two dozen passages he tells of how his people entered the world through a hollow log shares stories of great events and heroes and recalls fantastic creatures like a buffalo with horns of steel. Supplementing these stories with factual notations and personal reminiscences Momaday has created more than a collection of folklore. The Way to Rainy Mountain is a treasury of images that preserves the Kiowa way of life.
