Caleb reminisces as he tells Flora the story of how he came to be called Black Bear. After the murder of his parents and the destruction of New Canaan, young Caleb flees for his life and is found wandering on the prairie by a band of Ho-Chunk hunters who take him back to their village. After a while, they press him to adopt an Indian name, but he doesn’t know the customs so is unable to choose an appropriate one. Then, while hunting with his friends Lame Deer and Bright Eagle, he has an encounter that reveals his totem spirit and the only name that fits him.

I'm also a published poet, photographer, and artist. I write in several genres, reflecting my broad reading tastes. I spent 20 years in the army, retiring in 1982 and becoming a diplomat. I've worked in about 10 countries and traveled to about 30 more, mining each for material to write about.

[Carolyn Hone · Rating 5 out of 5]

All these stories are good and with variety.

My burning question is Caleb and his wife have not discussed having children or the lack of children and I guess this is all the author’s choosing. I’m beginning to think that mountain men can’t conceive children ha ha! Usually women feel like they’re not fulfilling their husbands wishes as a wife when they don’t have children, but apparently Caleb‘s wife feels fine????
