by Boyd Richardson

Crippled Warrior is an LDS Frontier Novel based on a series of true but unrelated stories. It won First Place in the 1999 League of Utah Writers' Contest.

Knife Thrower; A Mormon Boy Among the Pawnee:
As a young Mormon boy in Missouri, Samuel Harold sees his parents murdered by vicious mobsters and barely escapes with his own life. Left to fend for himself in the dead of winter without food or shelter, he wonders how he will survive.

In the snowy wilderness Samuel encounters Shunktokecha, an Indian brave who takes him back to his Pawneee village and becomes his mentor. Because of Samuel's skill at throwing knives, he becomes known as Knife Thrower and for six years becomes immersed in the Pawnee culture. He also remembers enough of his Mormon upbringing to tell the villagers stories from the Book of Mormon, and Shundktokecha reveals that he has been taught some inportant lessons by one of the Three Nephites.

Read on, and see what happens when Samuel encounters the men who killed his parents.
