Excerpt from The King of the Broncos: And Other Stories of New MexicoSo! There was, then, a horse in the world that could run faster than J overo 1 Impossible! And yet, there you were! The lips of J overo's rider suddenly puckered in a low whistle, and the vexed ridges in his brow unbent to a frown of wonder. Why, next thing you knew, you would be finding some one braver than Don Ireneo, or a better wrestler than Cuate, or one wiser than the Padre Brun himself, Who could run clear through a book and never once stub his toe!These were revolutionary thoughts; and J overo's gait was not conducive to thought of any sort. His small ears were set flat back to his head, his neck was strained forward, his nostrils flared like bells; and as he thundered on it was evident enough that he was as much put out as his master by yonder impudent runaway. Though Juan no longer sat as the rider sits whose heart is in the chase, J overo lunged ahead fiercely as ever. He would run down yon upstart on his own hook, or die trying.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Author, journalist and campaigner for Native American rights Charles Fletcher Lummis reveals a series of folktales and legends from the Pueblo peoples who have historically resided in the southwestern United States. An excellent compendium of tales passed down through generations, this book contains about thirty distinct stories. In addition to these, we find an explanation of how these tales were told by tribal elders as a way of both entertaining and imbuing others with wisdom. In his introduction Lummis, for whom Pueblo causes were of great importance, praises the peoples for their rich and abundant folklore and oral tradition. Many of the Puebloan stories relate to the animal kingdom, and how the behaviors of creatures affected the tribes who lived in villages nearby. In other stories, the animals speak among themselves. Frequently, we hear Puebloan expressions and slang - many of the author's annotations clarify such words and terms. While many of these folktales carry a moral lesson, all of them offer at least a grain of wisdom or a glimpse into the sophisticated Pueblo culture. Charles Fletcher Lummis spent decades campaigning for better treatment and respect of the Puebloans and other Native American groups. A talented writer and publisher, Lummis headed a magazine which advocated for rights for disenfranchised or marginalized tribes. Later in life, Lummis worked as a librarian and ceased to author books and articles. On perishing in 1928, he left behind an astonishing legacy of documentation and photos pertaining to the Native Americans.
