This sequal to Season of Yellow leaf concerns a band of proud Comanches who surrender at Ft Sill in 1875 and successfully learn to adjust to the changing world of the white man. A specialist Western themes, Jones has a knack for celebrating the Plains Indians ...

"Liver, have you ever seen a child starve to death?"
"No, I'm happy to say I haven't."
"I have. It's a vary bad thing to see. With the old ones, it's not so bad. Their lives are over anyway, so it doesn't matter much. But a young child with his belly sticking out and his eyes large and nothing to put in his stomach, that's a very bad thing.
"Now, this is the part only you must hear. I know we'll find little game. Your white hunters with their large rifles have already killed everything, I know this. But my people don't believe it. And only by showing them can I convince them. If we say out long enough, some of us are going to get very hungry. That's a hard thing for a man to do. To show his people something by letting a few of the older ones starve!"
"I'm sorry. But the old ways are gone."
"Yes. Forever!"
