My new friend's name is John Tall Wolf.  This is the first novel I have read by this author, but my to-be-read list is now much longer.John Tall Wolf is a straightforward agent for the Bureau of Indian Affairs who refuses to work on a reservation.  As an infant, his teenaged mother left him to die by offering him to the Great Spirit rather than shame her family (and herself).  The infant is saved literally from the jaws of a coyote by a scholarly couple who raise the baby with strong spiritual, mystical and intellectual beliefs.  The result is John Tall Wolf.The book has intrigue, humor, and even a little romance.  The author's character descriptions help you to see them and hear their inflections as they speak.  I immediately purchased the next book, War Party, upon finishing this one.
