Synopsis
In this enchanting book, Scott Momaday retells myths of his people and describes the Indian way of life he knew as a child. In two dozen passages, he tells of how his people entered the world through a hollow log, shares stories of great events and heroes, and recalls fantastic creatures like a buffalo with horns of steel. Supplementing these stories with factual notations and personal reminiscences, Momaday has created more than a collection of folklore. The Way to Rainy Mountain is a treasury of images that preserves the Kiowa way of life.

July 07, 2001: Momaday shows in the sparse beauty of his prose how he imagined himself into the land. He found home by way of stories -- legend, history, and personal reflection -- of the Kiowa people in the land. The Way to Rainy Mountain is an empowering book that tells the reader, 'here, this is the way you can find home.'
