Journey of the Grey Fox People A Novel Author:Harold Courlander First published in 1977 under the title The Mesa of Flowers, this novel evokes the Southwest as it was five centuries ago. “The Hopi, like the Jews, were a chosen people, and like them spent a season in the wilderness before arriving at their promised land. [This book] is based on the Hopi migrations. The history of an Indian people is as m... more »uch private property as a personal biography is, and Courlander has deferred to that privacy by inventing a desert people loosely based on the Hopi, and then following one invented clan, the Grey Fox People. . . . Courlander has written a fine portrayal of a great, good people.”—Mick McAllister, Denver Post« less
