Harriet Ryegate, the proper daughter of Massachusetts Puritans, is the first white woman to go far into the wilderness beyond the upper Missouri. With her husband, a Baptist minister, she seeks to convert the Blackfoot Indians to Christianity. But it is the Ryegates who are changed by their journey into strangeness. Marcus Ryegate returns to Massachusetts obsessed by a beautiful Indian woman. For sermonizing about her, he pays a heavy price. Harriet, one of Mildred Walker's most fully realized characters, writes in her journal about the effect of the Wilderness on civilized persons who are accustomed to live in the world of words. If a Lion Could Talk reveals the tragic lack of communication that stretches from Massachusetts to Missouri and beyond in the years before the Civil War--and the appalling heart of darkness that is close to home.Binding Type: Paperback

I've wanted to find this book for years!
Format: Hardcover
This is without a doubt one of my favorite books from childhood. I still have the old copy that I grew up with--but over the years, it has lost its cover and one or two pages. Not too bad considering that it was 40+ years old. I have found a few copies online and bought one that was a Little Silver (not Golden) Book, but the artwork was completely different. I was also hesitant to pay for a used copy because "good condition" means so many different things to different people. So I would check for this book every time I went to a used bookstore or garage sale. My most recent online search brought the exciting news that it was being reprinted WITH the original artwork, so I got on a waiting list right away!!! I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much for bringing back a friend from my childhood. :)
