Shh... there's a secret. It is the secret of the Baáhpuuo Isawaxaawuua, the Hitting Rock Mountains, where the Little People demand tribute for passage... and as settlers' discovered, the cost is great. After a disastrous journey, the travelers' horses were failing; whipped to pull heavy wagons through the mountains, their spirits broke and they lay down to die. The Little People sent their wolves and cougars to guide the proud animals on their final journey. The settlers' rose up and shot them... all but two, a couple who tried to stop the massacre. The mystics felt guilty for sending their beasts into slaughter, and although they spared the couple, their spirits were melded with the predators that had been killed. To keep their secret, they formed a pact that they should forever protect the mustangs. The Apsaalooke, a proud tribe of Native Americans, were tasked to watch over their promise. Centuries later, the Apsaalooke became known as Crow, the Baáhpuuo were renamed the Pryor Mountains, home to the largest protected mustang range in the country. A new wolf pack leader and his ambitious son have decided the legend of the Little People is nothing more than a fanciful story. They ignore the promise and begin capturing and selling the mustangs for profit, risking the fury of the mystics and breaking the circle of protection keeping the shifters safe. Far from the mountains, Lexi's father raises her on a small southern ranch, hoping to keep her safe. Strange dreams interrupt her nights. She runs up a dark mountain trail with a mysterious man chasing her. At the top of the cliffs is a fire, with a wolf sitting in its circle of light. It is the pack leader's son calling to her, drawing her back to the mountains. She finds herself immersed in the world of form-shifters, with the wolves' conspiring against the mustangs and cougars, and a shaman watching over it all. Lexi must reclaim the promise to keep the secret. She must wander the Baáhpuuo and remember the pact, because... The Little People demand tribute... and the cost is great.

“A fascinating narrative with all the grace and power embodied in the wild horses that once populated the Western range . . . [A] magnificently told saga.” —Albuquerque Journal A Los Angeles Times Best Nonfiction Book of the Year Mustang is the sweeping story of the wild horse in the culture, history, and popular imagination of the American West. It follows the wild horse across time, from its evolutionary origins on this continent to its return with the conquistadors, its bloody battles on the old frontier, its iconic status in Buffalo Bill shows and early westerns, and its plight today as it makes its last stand on the vanishing range. With the Bureau of Land Management proposing to euthanize thousands of horses and ever-encroaching development threatening the land, the mustang’s position has never been more perilous. But as Stillman reveals, the horses are still running wild despite all the obstacles, with spirit unbroken. Hailed by critics nationwide, Mustang is “brisk, smart, thorough, and surprising” (Atlantic Monthly). “Like the best nonfiction writers of our time (Jon Krakauer and Bruce Chatwin come to mind), Stillman’s prose is inviting, her voice authoritative and her vision imaginative and impressively broad.” —Los Angeles Times “Powerful . . . Stillman’s talent as a writer makes this impossible [to stop reading], to the mustang’s benefit.” —Orion “A circumspect writer passionate about her purpose can produce a significant gift for readers. Stillman’s wonderful chronicle of America’s mustangs is an excellent example.” —The Seattle Times

Now the Earth is covered in snow, and to unknown depths in some places.

But Wes believes his father is still alive somewhere above the timberline.
