Sparrow Hawk

First published to critical acclaim by Alfred Knopf in 1950, this evocative prose account of the lives of two young adults, on Indian and one white, has been reillustrated and made available in a paperback format. Set against the turbulent background of the 1830's Black Hawk War along the Iowa-Illinois border frontier, we witness the friendship of Sparrow Hawk and Huck as they share the joy of discovery and the tragedy of swift mindless change. "Meridel Le Sueur has accomplished a major writing miracle…"-from the forward by Vine Deloria, Jr.

Meridel Le Sueur (1900-1996) was a storyteller, poet, and activist who lived in Hudson, Wisconsin.
