were the Nez Perce people attacked in their beds by the United States Army? Why were they
chased from their homeland in Idaho when Lewis and Clark said they were some of the finest
Indian people they had met on their entire journey to the Pacific Ocean? Ken did his research
and wrote SOUN TETOKEN:NEZ PERCE BOY WHO TAMES A STALLION. The boy
was known as "Silent One" because he was unable to speak. Given an Appaloosa colt by his
grandfather, Old Chief Joseph, the boy who cannot speak develops a powerful bond with his
stallion. The great horse responds instantly to signs and touches as the boy and horse become
inseparable. Anyone who loves horses will love this special boy's story. SOUN TETOKEN'S
life is full of adventure, emotion, and surprises. From age six to his thirteenth birthday the reader
will follow this boy through one of the saddest periods of our history. This book is full of history
and Indian lore and a great read for children and adults alike. The time of day, the weather, and
every detail of the Nez Perce story is accurately recorded in SOUN TETOKEN. It is sold at
the Big Hole Battlefield visitor center and all across the United States in bookstores, museums,
and interpretive centers.
