Publisher Description:
Long ago, a lone little burro roamed the high cliffs of the Grand Canyon and touched the hearts of all

who knew him: a grizzled old miner, a big-game hunter, even President Teddy Roosevelt. Named Brighty by the

prospector who befriended him, he remained a free spirit at heart. But when a ruthless claim-jumper

murdered the prospector, loyal Brighty risked everything to bring the killer to justice.

Brighty's adventures have delighted generations of readers, and he has become the symbol of a joyous way of life.

Some people say that you can even see his spirit roving the canyon on moonlit nights-forever wild, forever free.
