Dear Readers: Every year at the State Fair, someone asks us which Don Coldsmith book was first in the Spanish Bit Saga. Finally I did some research and found the books he's written listed with their publication dates. Some of these titles are out of print, but anything that's still in print we can get for you. (I haven't noted which are which because the books' status can change quickly.) Let us know if you need something to fill out your collection. For those of you who aren't familiar with the Spanish Bit Saga, Wikipedia calls it "arguably Coldsmith's best known work (that) chronicles the unique moment in history when the horse was introduced to the Plains Indians by Spanish explorers, two of whom are separated from their party and are adopted by a fictional Plains tribe. The adventures and experiences of the explorers' Spanish-Indian descendants make up the bulk of the Spanish Bit series." I think the following quote of Don Coldsmith explains why his books are so popular and so widely read: "My goal has always been that I would write historically accurate enough that nobody can prove it didn't happen. I don't claim that it did. I claim it could have and I defy anybody to prove it didn't and I think it's intellectually dishonest to distort history and so I'm just not going to do it."
