Big Brother and Other Stories

Big Brother and Other Stories by Rex Beach is about the adventures of the tiny but indomitable Black Eagle and the rest of his Native American tribe. Excerpt: «BLACK EAGLE'S braves were on the warpath. Wailing women, orphaned children, and burning settlements marked their trail. But they had come to grips at last with Murray's Scouts and in the battle, quarter was neither asked nor given. Murray's men were famous Indian fighters; gradually they forced the redskins back and finally brought them to the bay in a deep canyon—a cul-de-sac enclosed on three sides by perpendicular walls.»
