Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Younger Medicine Man" by Francis Lynde Kroll is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around a young Sioux boy named Little Eagle, who aspires to become both a warrior and a medicine man, learning from Clawing Bear, the tribe's medicine man. The narrative explores themes of bravery, cultural heritage, and the conflict between tribes, as Little Eagle faces the challenges of loyalty, trust, and the weight of his promises to his people. The opening portion of the novel introduces Little Eagle as he prioritizes his lessons with Clawing Bear over competing in a shooting match with his friends, reflecting his internal conflict between boyhood desires and the responsibilities of his culture. After a series of events, including witnessing Crow warriors' suspicious activity, he takes on the dangerous role of a scout to protect his tribe. Despite the challenges he faces, including a direct confrontation with the Crows, the narrative establishes his determination and sense of duty. As he navigates perilous situations, the stage is set for Little Eagle's development and the trials he must overcome on his journey to becoming "Young Medicine Man."
