In the year 1541, two Indian boys lived on the remote island of
Tiburon off the west coast of Mexico. They were Seris, a warlike
and primitive tribe quite different from the peaceful Indians of
the mainland who had been easily conquered and reduced to slavery
by Hernan Cortez and his invading Spanish armies. The two boys,
Stooping Hawk and Stranded Whale, were sent to spy on the
conquerors and were caught and imprisoned. The story of their
capture and escape is a thrilling one, but the account of their
wild, free life on Tiburon is equally fascinating. This, the author
says, is "a tale missed by the history books. And surely every
generation of this fine, high-spirited people has had its
counterparts of Stooping Hawk and Stranded Whale, true sons of
liberty." Wilfrid Swancourt Bronson, naturalist, writer and artist,
knows his desert setting as intimately as the habits and nature of
the Seris. He has written and illustrated a richly rewarding story
of adventure. Mr. Bronson wrote his first book at the age of eight.
Called "Animal People," it started like this: "This book is for
children who are interested in animals and birds. It has verey good
pictures in it and children can understand it verey easily." He
later learned to spell, and wrote and illustrated over twenty books
for children with "verey good pictures" that they could understand.
Young readers everywhere are glad he did.
