Two young boys, orphaned during an ill-advised Navaho raid upon a pueblo, are adopted by a kindly Tewa couple, Raised with kindness, they come to love and respect their step-parents and their newly found tribe. Yet, there are those in the pueblo who are hostile to these "Navaho dogs" living among them. They try to earn the respect of their new family and work hard to find their place among the Tewa.

Originally published in 1927, A Son of the Navahos is the 26th book published by James Willard Schultz. It describes the exciting adventures of these brothers as they struggle to find their place among their new family, learning the ways of their new tribe, even as they try to come to terms with the traditional enmity of their birth tribe of the Navajo and the Tewa, as well as the suspicion and hatred of some of the pueblo dwellers who do not trust their loyalty to their new people.

James Willard Schultz (1859 - 1947) is best known for his books on the Montana frontier well. Arriving at Fort Benton in Blackfeet territory in 1877, he spent decades as a trader, rancher and hunting guide in what is now western Montana. Living among the Blackfeet, he came to consider one of them. Later in life, after the death of his dear Pikuni wife Natahki, he began to write, eventually publishing 37 books, many of them novels about his friends, the Blackfeet Indians, and other adventures of the Montana territory. A Son of the Navahos is a departure from his usual subject, written primarily during the time he spent in his remote hunting cabin in the White Mountains of Arizona during the 1920s. This new digital edition offfers a special introduction and footnotes by Bryan R. Johnson to provide detailed background on Southwest Indian culture and history in this exciting tale of adventure set in the old West.
