dated, having been w ritten in
1953, b ut still entertaining. As
the tale opens, Louis Champlain,
a French-C anadian Cree, living
in M ontana, has been given 20
purebred Herefords as an ex­
perim ent instigated by his con­
gressm an. “ If you build this
herd up...the governm ent may
ad o p t such a policy of rehabili­
tatio n for other landless Indi­
ans. It depends on you!” warns
“C ongress,” as Louis calls him.

the one responsible for the title
of the book, and Grandpere, the
105-year-old grandfather, who
proudly carries around the scalp
(his “war chief” grandson Joe
brought it to him from Korea)
