  The Small Bears by Gene L. Henderson - The aliens looked cute as Koalas. But there was a little matter of a graveyard of dead space-ships. 
  Billowy white clouds hid the entire surface of the mystery planet and the space-cruiser cautiously searched, seeking an opening. A wind disturbance momentarily split the misty blanket and like an arrow the ship darted through. 
  The sudden movement had caught some of the men unprepared and Dr. Dick Boyette hurried past fully-manned battle stations to answer a call from the control-room. It required but a couple of minutes to revive a technician who had stumbled into a panel and afterward Boyette stood in the background, watching. 
  Everywhere, as far as the eye could see, the terrain was dotted by patches of woods and green meadows. The perpetual cloud blanket was two miles high, thin enough so that it barely diffused the sunlight. Enough, Boyette thought, so that the planet would have been a mystery even without the disappearance of all ships that had visited it. 
  "No sign of life," growled Commander Kellews, breaking the silence. 
  "I don't like it," the gunnery officer added uneasily. "There must be life or what could have happened to all the other ships that vanished here?" 
  "That's what we're here to find out," said Commander Kellews. He gazed around with a fighting man's pride in the finest weapons that Earth science had been able to devise. This one ship itself could destroy the entire planet that lay so peacefully beneath them. 
  As Boyette knew, the mystery planet was necessary for further expansion from the solar system, lying as it did between their system and the nearest one. Yet, it had swallowed all ships that had landed. 
  "Look!" shouted the lookout, "that plateau's covered with ships."

  A Man Called Horse - John Horse...

  Warrior. Chief. Diplomat. 
   
  In Spanish Florida during the nineteenth century, one man shaped the course of Black Seminoles—descendants of Seminole Indians and free Blacks and escaped slaves—more than any other. A political and military leader of both Seminole and African heritage, John Horse valiantly defended his people from slave hunters, other tribes, and the U.S. government. 
   
  After fighting in the Second Seminole War—one of the longest and most costly Native American conflicts in United States history—Horse negotiated territory for the Black Seminoles and became a guide and interpreter. As part of the Underground Railroad, he led a group of former slaves and Seminoles to safety in Mexico and later to Texas, where many became scouts who defended the western American border. 
   
  Author Glennette Tilley Turner’s expertly researched biography depicts a complex, fascinating figure who served as a counselor to fellow Seminole leaders, an agent of the U.S. government, a captain in the Mexican army, and a conductor in the Underground Railroad. No matter the part he played, one thing remained constant: Whether in battle or at the negotiating table, Horse fought tirelessly to help his people survive and find a home. A Man Called Horse is a tale of daring, intrigue, and the lifelong quest for freedom. 
   
  “An exciting and well-documented tribute to the courage, insight, and dedication of John Horse [and] an excellent contribution to the little-known history of Horse and the Black Seminoles.”—A. LaVonne Brown Ruoff, professor emerita of English, University of Illinois, and recipient of the Modern Language Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award for her contributions to Native American literature
