Young Sioux Warrior by Francis Lynde Kroll
"Younger Sioux Warrior" by Francis Lynde Kroll is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story follows a young boy named Little Bear, who is caught in a tumultuous world of adventure and danger among the Sioux as he yearns to prove himself and become a true warrior. His experiences include council discussions, hunting expeditions, and confrontations with rival tribes as he navigates the complexities of growing up in a warriorsociety. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Little Bear, who is attending a council meeting of Sioux warriors where a hunting strategy is debated amid concerns about rival Pawnee tribes. Though initially timid and ashamed for speaking out of turn, he soon earns a bow from his grandfather, Great Bear, marking the transition to his first steps into adulthood. The opening also establishes the dynamics between the characters and foreshadows upcoming trials—highlighting themes of courage, honor, and the rites of passage Little Bear must endure, as he looks forward to learning valuable skills and even aims to reclaim stolen horses. As the plot unfolds, it seems poised to weave together personal growth with the larger tensions between the Sioux and their enemies. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
