From the Publisher

Professor Hibben has written a fascinating account of the old West as told to him by Juan de Dios. Juan de Dios was a Navajo by birth and was captured by the Spanish in a slaving raid. He was twenty-one years old when Lincoln freed the slaves-Indian as well as Negro. He was ninety years old when he recounted his tales to Professor Hibben-these tales are all authentic. Prof. Hibben actually rode with Juan de Dios to the places where the events took place. A sampling of some of the chapters include: "Massacre at Medio Dia," "The Purgatoire Grizzly," "Dead Man's Stampede," "Big Medicine Lion," "Big Bucks Sleep Lightly," "The Bear That Walked Like a Man," and many more. A recommended work-a mixture of hunting and Southwestern Americana! Including 32 pages of authentic photographs from the author's files.
