That's what Season of Yellow Leaf is all about. In the late 1830s a ten-year-old white girl is captured on a raid along the Edwards Plateau. This is the story of that girl growing up in a strange place. At first resentful, "Chosen," as she is named by the Comanches, little by little not only learns their ways but becomes one with them, suffering as the white man increasingly encroaches on their lands and decimates their ranks.
Published in 1983, I read this the first time about 1990 and this is now my third reading. Douglas C. Jones was a popular historical novelist, winning the Spur award for the best historical novel twice and the best novel once. An alternative history, The Court Martial of General George Armstrong Custer became a successful TV mini-series. Jones is credited with being accurate historically and although his books tend to be narrative in nature, he creates memorable characters.
By reading Chosen's story we can understand the day to day, year to year life of the Comanche people during the numbered days of their traditional culture. The term Yellow Leaf refers to the third of four seasons the traditional culture will survive. ( )
