2/28/25 Found another dozen of these ... a bit more expensive than the first ones - now $24 .... but issue price was $17.95 THIRTY YEARS AGO. This isn't bad ... and still a great book.
I read about the first dozen pages, awestruck at the art ... ledger art ... before I read the little note inside the front cover. Not all the copies I have gathered have that note ... but I will make copies to go in each before I send them out.
Get familiar with ledger art, please. The squibs about the author, the artist and the rest of the production "team" at the back of the book is in itself another story within a story.
The thought, creativity and talent that went into this 72 page wonder is over the top... well, no, it (to me) is right on the top. Not much gets this much praise from me any more. Do hope you agree!

I spent some time with Cheyenne and Arapaho leaders this week. Kept thinking about this beautiful book capturing what it’s like to spend time talking about the histories and listening to the stories. Beautifully captured.
I purchased 2 of these for my great nephews and they look fascinating. Haven’t given them yet, but both boys will love them. These stories are just what kids need to get them interested in something besides fantasy cartoons
We used this book to share with a class of middle-school of students. It was received enthusiastically with lots of questions. The physical book itself is wonderful and the art most appropriate and evocative of the times.
Our grandson is reading it first. Amazing artwork!
Good Morning,
Will there be more copies of The Ledger Book coming available in the future? I would love to purchase one. I have been reading many books about the Native American Indian history especially the horror of the “schools” that the children were kidnapped/and parents persuaded to send their children too. I have a great deal of empathy for the Native American Indians.
Please let me know if a copy becomes available.
Sincerely,
Carol Kottelenberg
Carol: I'm finding a few more copies .... but this book is 30 years out of print; both the original publisher and the re-publisher are gone ... so it's a challenge. I didn't realize just how few copies there were when I got this started but I will keep trying. This next batch are going to have to be a bit more than the first batch. Keep watching!
