Spine quite creased and knocked. Some minor creasing on cover. Otherwise a sturdy, clean copy. Since the age of eleven, when he saw the white men murder his father, the Red Indian Lola-Wossiky has been a pathetic drunk. His brother, Ta-Kumshaw, wishes to see whites confined to the eastern lands. But Governor Bill Harrison of the rough frontier town of Carthage, has far more brutal plans for the Indians. When he puts those plans into action, he unwittingly brings young Alvin Miller - a very special white boy with extraordinary magical powers - to Lolla-Wossiky and Ta-Kumshaw. And so begins the next sage of Alvin's education.

From the Back Cover
Red Prophet
Volume II of the Tales of Alvin Maker
"Suddenly the saga of Alvin Maker begins to thrill."―Washington Post Book World
"Red Prophet is but a section of a vast American fantasy epic. It is vividly written, and the principal actors―Alvin, Ta-Kumsaw, the Prophet, and Alvin's Gandalfesque mentor Taleswapper―are all complete and memorable characters."―The Philadelphia Inquirer
Come here to the magical America that might have been, and marvel as the tale of Alvin Maker unfolds. The seventh son of a seventh son is a boy of mysterious powers, and he is waking to the mysteries of the land and its own chosen people.
"Harsher, bleaker, and more mystical than Seventh Son, this novel superbly demonstrates Card's solid historical research, keen understanding of religious experience, and, most of all, his mastery of the art of storytelling."―Booklist
