When the Legends Die by Hal Borland

When the Legends Die by Hal Borland

A Young Man's Search for Identity and His Native Culture

Thomas Black Bull was raised in the old ways of his Native American ancestors, off the reservation in the mountainous wilderness of southern Colorado. When tragedy tears him from everything he knows, Thomas is thrust headlong into modern American life. Parents gone, he learns a different way of life and works the regional rodeo circuit, but it fails to fulfill him. While tempted by the tug of civilization, he is called to his native Ute heritage, and Tom's journey comes full-circle.

With keen insight, Hal Borland portrays a man's struggle to find his identity in a society that sees him differently. When the Legends Die paints a rich and moving portrait of the rugged American West against the vivid backdrop of the beautiful southwestern landscape.

Borland, Hal: - Hal Borland's first outdoor essay appeared in The New York Times in the fall of 1941 and since then he has published some 1,200 more, many of them having been reprinted in anthologies and English textbooks. The essays have continued through the years to draw a large reader mail-from all over the United States and occasionally from abroad. Mr. Borland and his wife, author Barbara Dodge Borland, have lived for the past sev- eral years on their farm in Connecticut's lower Berkshire Hills. He was bom in Nebraska; much of his boyhood was spent on a homestead in eastern Colorado - re- captured memorably in one of his most pop- ular' books, High, Wide and Lonesome. He was graduated from the Columbia School of Journalism and received a Litt.D. degree from the University of Colorado in 1944.
