Wolves still howl at midnight on village greens. Each log cabin is a fortress, and no one travels without a knife and gun. Through this armed and fearful countryside, three people--Ely Jackson, a 17-year-old backwoods boy; Owen Lightfoot, a lawyer from Philadelphia with a romantic view of the frontier; and Rain Hawk, a half-breed girl living on her own in the wilderness--chase an awesome quarry, a mysterious giant-like figure who is on the run for murder. Ely and Owen set out on the trail of the \"Bearman\" with the intent of bringing him \"to justice,\" while Rain Hawk struggles to protect him from the public's wrath. \u003ci\u003eBad Man Ballad\u003c\/i\u003e is a riveting tale by a masterful storyteller and an appealing contemporary addition to the Library of Indiana Classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScott Russell Sanders is Distinguished Professor of English at Indiana University.
