Spanish Bit Saga

Before the outsider, now Chief Heads Off, brought the Elk Dog to The People their strategy had always been to flee or hide from their mortal enemies, the Head Splitters.

Don Pedro Garcia believes the drunken Captain Sanchez' claim that the Don's only son is still alive and living among the savages in New Spain's uncharted wilderness.

When they mastered the ways of the "Elk Dog," the horse, the band prospered. Yet they knew the old traditional ways must not die. Owl's father had changed the lives of The People bringing the horse from his native Spain.
