Featured are “The Soft-Hearted Sioux” by Zitkala-Sa, “On Wolf Mountain” by Charles Eastman, “How the White Race Came to America” by Handsome Lake, and seven more tales of humor and tragedy. The book also features eight illustrated poems, including Alex Posey’s “Wildcat Bill” and E. Pauline Johnson’s “The Cattle Thief”. The series is edited by Tom Pomplun. Associate editors for this volume are noted Native American writers John E. Smelcer and Joseph Bruchac, whom each contribute a piece to the book.

The Graphic Classics® series presents the works of great authors in comics adaptations and heavily-illustrated text. The adaptations are written at an adult level, and utilize as much of the author’s original language as possible. Our goal is to create books that are enjoyable for adults, yet accessible to children ages twelve and up. Unlike other comics adaptations of classics, these books are anthologies; they present a large number of short stories, with occasional poems and abridged novels, each illustrated by a different contemporary artist. Artists are recruited from the fields of comics, book illustration, and fine arts, and include new artists as well as industry veterans from all over the world.
