Questers of the Desert
Two white men search for a gold mine; two elderly Hopi men go on a quest to find the entrance to the beautiful Under-World, from where humans long ago came onto the surface of the earth; and a young white boy tries to find if his heart lies with his Indian friends or return to his original culture. It is the 1860s and these are the quests in the deserts of the Southwest. Featuring adventure, battles and strange discoveries, Questers of the Desert is a rousing tale for everyone.
Although James Willard Schultz is best known for his books on the Blackfeet Indians, among whom he had lived, loved and worked for most of his adult life, has written a special novel that describes these questers. Originally published in 1925, it is reprinted here for the first time with the kind permission of the Museum of the Rockies.
