Indain Yell - The Heart of an American Insurgency by Michael Blake
Recounting twelve significant battles, and the reverberating consequences of their outcomes that took place in the American West between the United States and American Indians from 1854 to 1890, this book is filled with harrowing stories of sacrifice and misdeeds that are well documented in the annals of history, as well as others that are less well known. Commonly and callously referred to at the time as the "Indian Problem," this issue, and how it was handled, became the defining factor in shaping how American Indians live today and reflects interestingly on how the American military currently handles conflicts with insurgents throughout the world. Further reading suggestions are offered at the end of each chapter.

NEW TITLE: Twelve The King by Michael Blake
In 1990 while doing research on mustang horses for a story he was working on, Michael Blake encountered a wild lead stallion captured and held by the Bureau of Land Management near Reno, Nevada. Recalling his first encounter with “Twelve” at a holding pen, Blake writes….
“There seemed to be an invisible barrier surrounding him, and none of the other horses, whether alone or in gangs, ever sniffed or touched or whinnied at him. The director recalled that on one occasion the entire population came together and circled their king in a massive surround that lasted several minutes”.
Blake conveys the undying spirit of the mustang stallion and their journey together from Nevada to California, and to his final home in Arizona, where the writer and this unique horse spent many good years in each other's company.
“It often crossed my mind that if Twelve reached the mountains he would be lost to us forever, and that being lost forever might not be so bad--let the old stallion go into the mountains and spend his last few days in freedom”.
Twelve, The King is a memoir that reads like a love poem not only to a particular animal, but to all wild things, to what is wild in us. This story is equal parts an unsentimental recounting of one person's relationship to an untamable animal and a cautionary tale as to what we stand to lose if we take the existence of these magnificent symbols of North American independence and resourcefulness for granted. Michael understood that "Twelve" was not his to own or subdue, and took pride in the special gift of being the wild stallion's custodian. It is a pleasure for us to offer this moving portrait from the author of Indian Yell, Marching To Valhalla and Dances With Wolves.
