this number nine in the spanish bit saga by Don Coldsmith, as always the stories are based on the 16th and 17th century.
Don Coldsmith's acclaimed series called the Spanish Bit Saga was a good one. This is #9. It's the story of the 16th and 17th Century Native Americans, ably told. (Even my wife liked these books!)
