Sundown, Paperback

Challenge Windzer, the mixed-blood protagonist of this compelling autobiographical novel, was born at the beginning of the twentieth century -when the god of the great Osages was still dominate over the wild prairie and the blackjack hills- of northeast Oklahoma Territory. Named by his father to be -a challenge to the disinheritors of his people, - Windzer finds it hard to fulfill his destiny, despite oil money, a university education, and the opportunities presented by the Great War and the roaring twenties. Critics have praised Sundown generously, both as a literary work and a vignette into the Native American past.
