This story was originally published in Day One, a weekly literary journal dedicated to short fiction and poetry from emerging writers.
It’s 1947, and the Cleveland Indians want a new eye-catching logo. So World War II vet and painter John Everett goes to the Navajo Nation in Arizona to find a new face for the franchise. He’s looking for a fresh Indian—inspiring and likeable, brave and bucktoothed—to adorn hats, shirts, and jerseys for decades to come. At a mining site in the vast Navajo desert, Everett finds his man Nakai, a veteran turned miner whose father was a shot-to-death extra in a John Wayne movie. Soon, however, Everett is adding embellishments necessary to truly rouse the fans—the hatchet nose, the broad smile, the noble feather—sure that this will be the symbol for the team’s winning future. Sardonic and timely, The Tribe asks, Who is the man behind the mascot? And what is a face without the weight of history behind it?
The Tribe A Short Story eBook Joseph Horton
I really enjoyed this. The subject matter generally isn't my bag, however, once I started reading it, it really was just a great story paired with fabulous story telling. Usually any literature that mentions the Cleveland Indians in any capacity is to be avoided, but I was proven otherwise. Looking forward to seeing what else comes down the pike from the author.Product details

The Tribe A Short Story eBook Joseph Horton Reviews
It's an interesting story told as a letter written to his wife. It was kind of nice where you hear two men talking about life.
I thought this was a witty, finely-crafted short story that's sadly still relevant in the wake of the Redskins controversy. I look forward to reading more by this author.
I loved this story. It goes by quickly was done too soon. Engaging and thought-provoking. I couldn't have predicted where the story would take me in the end.
Enjoyed it very much.
Horton re-imagines history so well that this is now the version embedded in my brain. A fun yet serious short story, an easy read that will stick in your head.
This is a richly painted portrait of the American west through the eyes of a Midwesterner. It speaks volumes to America's challenges to understand its vast land and its resources, and what it really means to support or inspire a "tribe" of people in very different parts of this huge country. Insightful and humorous, it is a tremendous encapsulation of America. A recommended quick read!
Interesting to discover some history about the Cleveland Indians controversial logo. Framing the story around a letter to the writer's wife didn't quite work for me. Wanted more detail at the end.
I really enjoyed this. The subject matter generally isn't my bag, however, once I started reading it, it really was just a great story paired with fabulous story telling.
