Two Black Bears

We follow our protagonist from age sixteen to old age and learn about the Navajos way of life, beliefs, religion, dances and fears.

Our Navajo warrior inadvertently starts a conflict between the white men and the Indian Nation when he kills one the wagon trains guards, taking his scalp as his first coupe.

Realizing his error, he surrenders himself to the wagon train where he meets Golden Hair, an English teacher. She teaches him English and she learns Navajos and their ways.

While guiding and protecting the wagon train through Navajo territory, they fall in love, but its not to be.

The wagon train is attacked by Apaches and Golden Hair is taken prisoner. Our hero takes up the hunt and finds Golden hair after fighting and wounding the son of the Chief of Apaches.

The reader garners the history and life of the Indian Nations and the horrible treatment Golden Hair received from the Apaches and the many conflicts Two Bears has with the US government throughout his sojourn as Chief of the Navajos.
