(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Tom Shefelman. A fictional account based on actual encounters between Comanches and Texans in 1840, the story concerns Tsena, the son of a peace chief who witnesses his father's death at the hands of the tejanos. Escaping from captivity, he is aided by a white family before returning to his people and seeking vengeance against the Texans. This balanced portrait of the conflict is well paced and gracefully written.
