|  | The Zunis by Alice K. Flanagan, Brendan January
The Zunis are one of the Pueblos tribes currently living in the American Southwest. The Zunis continue to live in the shadow of Corn Mountain, their ancestral home for the past five centuries. Today, the Zunis are undergoing a dramatic resurgance into American political and social life. This book does not treat the Zunis as a fossilized group that has not changed in the last fifty years, but describes how the modern Pueblos have used their proud past to adapt to the present.

 | The Matchlock Gun by Paul Lantz, Walter D. Edmonds
Set in the Hudson Valley of New York State in 1756 (when New York was still a British colony), this is the true story of the Van Alstyne family. When Mr. Van Alstyne is called away from home, he enlists the help of his 10-year-old son, Edward, to protect the family from Indian raids. He entrusts Edward with a matchlock gun, which must be set off with a flame since it does not use flint to set off the gunpowder charge. But when faced with a raid, Edward depends not only upon the gun, but also upon his mother and young sister. Illustrated with b&w drawings. Winner of the 1942 Newbery Medal.
