In the Shadow of the Wind
Written by: Luke Wallin
"This novel describes the cultural conflict in Alabama in the 1830s between members of the Creek Nation and white settlers in the area. Brown Hawk wants to stop fighting and cooperate with the settlers’ requests, but others, such as Least Coyote, disagree. Caleb McElroy and his grandfather appreciate the Indians. Regardless, Caleb is forced to kill Least Coyote as the Creek attempts to scalp Mrs. McElroy. Caleb eventually resolves the conflict within himself about the values of each culture by becoming Creek."
