Product Description
A Quest Into Legend
From the moment he laid eyes on it, young Beaver of the Elk-dog People felt drawn to the spirit of the pipestone. Now he’s setting out on a vision quest to the only place the red stone can be mined: the Pipestone Quarry. Traveling with a trader’s young family, Beaver learns the ways of barter as he follows the trade routes–and his inner guides–to an adventure that may cost his life. For Beaver must uncover the pipestone’s secret to break a curse that has suddenly befallen their traveling party. And he must stand between a merciless warrior people and a breakaway band of their former neighbors, among whom is the beautiful widow Pale Moon. Is Pale Moon the final curse that stands between Beaver and the pipestone–or the sign he needs to complete his quest?
Recently selected by True West magazine as the “best living western historical novelist,” and with nearly six million copies of his critically acclaimed novels in print, Don Coldsmith is one of today’s bestselling authors of the North American frontier. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

Good Reading, Mar 6 2008
By Gregory Ethington - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Pipestone Quest: Spanish Bit Saga, Book 28 (Mass Market Paperback)
Another typical Don Coldsmith book. I don't know how to describe it but about a year ago, I had never heard of Coldsmith and had no interest in literature about Native Americans.About that same time I came into possession of three or four books by Coldsmith. I started with a book called "The Rhunestone" I started reading it and couldn't put it down. Now I have read everything that I have been able to get my hands on and have a large number of his books. I don't have them all yet, but will someday.

This review is from: The Pipestone Quest: Spanish Bit Saga, Book 28 (Mass Market Paperback)
I have been unable to purchase all the books in the order they were written, but I hope someday to purchase them all, then go back and re-read from the beginning.This was another great book from Don Coldsmith, and I love the American Indian history that he records.
