Follow the Wind

Spanish Bit Saga #3

by Don Coldsmith

Follow the WindDon Pedro Garcia was impatient; there were only so many forced marches the horses could endure. He was an old man now, and he wanted to see his son who, rumor had it, was alive among the Indians of the Great Plains. Don Pedro's lieutenant, Ramon Cabeza, was also troubled, for no matter how fast the search party traveled the Indians always seemed to know their movements days in advance. What neither man could know was that Don Pedro's son was alive, now a chief among the Elk-dog band--and that the feared Head Splitters were preparing to make war upon the intruders who had violated their lands.The Spanish Bit SagaSet in the New World of the early 16th century, Don Coldsmith's acclaimed novels re-create a time, a place, and a people that have been nearly lost to history. In The Spanish Bit Saga we see history in the making through the eyes of those proud Native Americans who lived it. With 6 million copies of his critically acclaimed books in print, Don Coldsmith is one of America's premier novelists of the North American Frontier.

Juan Garcia (Heads off"s) father in Spain Don Pedro Garcia initializes a troop to go to the New Spain (Amarica) to search for his son. This is a continuation of the "Spanish bit"series. Gave this 4 stars
Interesting stories. Most books are 200 pages or less so they are good quick reads.

This was an exciting mix of Spaniard lore with the Spanish Trail indian story. I wanted to skip to the end so bad, but then I checked back . . . I would be missing so much. Need to read faster!

Really nice.

Reading this book in the Spanish Bit series was like watching a very good movie. Actually, someone should make this book into a very good movie. It gets bonus points for having a strong and intelligent female character.

So good. This one gives us a glimpse of Heads Off’s life and family before he joined the tribe of the People in New Spain. I loved it. Can’t wait to read more of these.

Very good "Western" story. It's actually not like your normal American Western tale. Lots of nicely developed characters and a nice continuing storyline. Recommended
