The Challenge
by Justin Case
Sometime in the fifteenth century, the domesticated horse appeared in America, brought by the Spanish and Christopher Columbus. The Spaniards were exploring northward, searching for riches and wealth. In doing so, they eventually came into contact with the native inhabitants in the area. This is a story of one of the earliest encounters between the two peoples and how this chance encounter changed one tribe and altered their way of life.
This chance encounter gave the small tribe a new means of transportation, metal knives, and flint for making fire, plus the mobility needed to take advantage of the Great Plains to the West.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born in Phillippi, West Virginia, on a cold day in November. The family moved to Baltimore, where my father found work in the shipyards shortly after the war. Soon the city was too confining, so we moved to the country, where I was raised. I returned to West Virginia, where I now reside.
I am a retired federal employee, where I worked in the legislative branch of the government for over twenty-five years. I am married and have three children and two grandchildren.
My grandmother was a full-blooded Indian, so I have always been interested in Native Americans and their history.
