Head Smashed In — Fred Bowen

W. Fred Bowen is a retired educator who lives part-time in Canada and Switzerland. Since he was very young, while growing up in Montana, one of his many interests has been the pre-history of the aboriginal peoples of prairies. He has been fascinated by the artifacts left behind by these people and curious about how they were able to exist in a harsh and difficult world. Head Smash In, written predominantly for younger readers, is his first story about that world. Combining his arrowhead collecting hobby with his knowledge based on years of research, Mr. Bowen has created an entertaining and thought-provoking story of North America's earliest habitants.
