Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wooing of Tokala an Intimate Tale of the Wild Life of the American Indian Drawn From Camp and Trail At an Oglala buffalo village the figure of chief interest, passing the teepee doors, was not that of Red Cloud nor of Yellow-Iron, but that of Koska, the Brule dancer. This young man lived at the Missouri River, where his father was wealthy, owning many horses which he had stolen from the Scili or Pawnees. Koska was able to dance the muscle dance, and as he danced he shook a bull rattle and jingled the bells upon his ankles so that people said he made very fine music indeed. Koska´s voice was wonderful, a great mystery gift. When he shouted at the pony races or in the ball games it was as if Wakinyan, the Thunder God, were speaking. At times when this young man was talking his words were very mysterious; for it appeared that some one spoke in the air above his head or from the ground at his feet. No one could tell where his words came from. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
