Title: The Way To Rainy Mountain
Author: N. Scott Momaday

Publisher: University of New Mexico Press 1983

ISBN: 9780826304360
Size: 6 x 9 * 88 pages
Synopsis: From the cover: "Mr. Momaday retells the Kiowa myths that he learned from his grandmother, speculates on the actual history they may symbolize, and describes, with infectious nostalgia, the Indian life he knew as a child. There are distinctive illustrations by the author's father, Al Momaday. The whole book is most attractive -beautifully written, full of gentleness and dignity. But it nags eloquently at the white conscience."-Atlantic Monthly
"So far books about Indians have been lies about an unknown people in an undiscovered country. The Way to Rainy Mountain can be the beginning of the end of the big lie."- William Eastlake
"Written with great dignity, the book has something about it of the timeless, of that long view down which the Kiowa look to their myth-shrouded beginnings."-New York Times
"I know nothing quite like this book, and nothing of the Indian that is at once so authentic and so moving."-Wallace Stegner
Overall Condition: Gently read book with clean unmarked text; see images
