Black Eagle Child.

Iowa City: University of Iowa Press (1992). First edition. 261 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket. Foreword by Albert E. Stone. The fourth book in Singular Lives: The Iowa Series in North American Autobiography. From the jacket: ‘A classic of Native American literature, Black Eagle Child uses a rich mix of verse, prose narrative, and letters to tell Edgar Bearchild’s journey to adulthood. Although the backdrop of much of Young Bear’s novel may be familiar-the conflicts over race, drugs, Vietnam and others that gripped America in the fifties, sixties, and seventies–Bearchild’s recounts his coming-of-age story from a distinct vantage point, as a member of the Mesquakie nation.’
