The Way to Rainy Mountain
Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 1976. Softcover. 8vo., 98 pp. First paperback edition. Later print. Recalls the journey of Tai-me, the sacred Sun Dance doll, and of Tai-me's people in three unique voices: the legendary, the historical, and the contemporary. It is also the personal journey of Momaday, who on a pilgrimage to the grave of his Kiowa grandmother traversed the same route taken by his forebears and in so doing confronted his Kiowa heritage. It is an evocation of three things in particular: a landscape that is incomparable, a time that is gone forever, and the human spirit, which endures. Very Good in glossy illustrated wraps.
