Here is a rousingly told and sumptuously illustrated picture book featuring the stunning vistas of the American West, as seen through the eyes of its most heroic animal, the horse.

Spirit is the leader of a herd of wild mustangs. Rustlers, soldiers, and railroad builders capture and attempt to tame the stallion just as they are taming the land, but the mustang has a determination and a need for freedom that cannot be contained. Through bravery, cunning, and an unexpected friendship with a Native American boy, Spirit finds his way home again.
