| | Amazon.com: People of the Owl: A Novel of Prehistoric North America: Books: Kathleen O'Neal Gear,W. Michael Gear (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Set in prehistoric northeastern Louisiana, this richly imagined 11th entry in the Gears' First North Americans series follows a juvenile warrior as he struggles to mature in time to save his Clan from annihilation. |
 | | Free-spirited, vision-seeing 15-year-old Mud Puppy has no interest in power, but when his much-admired older brother, White Bird, is struck by lightning and killed (an event that Mud Puppy foresaw), he is next in line to be the Speaker for the Owl Clan. |
 | | The series began with People of the Wolf (1990), and now, in the latest volume, the Gears reconstruct life as led by the aboriginal inhabitants of Poverty Point in what is now Louisiana--and which was, as a matter of interesting fact, North America's first true city, founded 12 centuries before the birth of Christ. |
