Crazy Water

Crazy
Water - is he Comanche, half-breed, or white? The four men who find him with a
head injury on the riverbank, name him Crazy Water. He doesn’t know his true
name or where he comes from. He is dressed in Comanche garb, speaks the
Comanche tongue fluently, and has more knowledge of hunting and tracking than
most boys his age. He remembers nothing of his life before he was found at the
riverbank.

For
nearly ten years he lives as a Comanche. When the Jerome Agreement is put into
effect, giving each Comanche 160 acres of his own land, thereby breaking up the
Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache reservation, Crazy Water and his friends decide to
take advantage of this and return to the reservation for their share of the
land.
