The Extraordinary and Unforgettable Saga of America's Lost People
"I AM THE TALE TELLER. I AM DYING. I MUST TELL MY FINAL TALES."
They inhabit the unspoiled swamplands, mountain plains and verdant forests of the vast North American continent—warriors, shamans, hunters and famers of the sundry tribes and cultures. And one man travels among them—a speaker of many tongues born "Hotfoot" but renamed "Throat Shot" as a cruel consequence of a hunting raid. From the burial mound of his ancestors, the spirits set him on his life's path—impelling the youbg brave through war and hardship, through magical wonder and passionate love, on a mystical quest to deliver his people from the devastation that bears relentlessly down upon them.
► The major work of his career… Anthony successfully breathers life into a long-dead culture. ◄ Arizona Republic

On his first raid the boy Hotfoot's arrow ripped through the Cale warrior's neck, unleashing his inflamed soul into the night. Thus the boy Hotfoot, maimed by a returning arrow, would begin his life's adventure as Throat Shot. For along with a crippling deformity, the raid would also endow him with a link to the spirits, a gift for languages, and a mission.
In an Indian burial mound near the Florida home of noted fantasy author Piers Anthony, archaeologists unearthed the remains and artifacts if Indians dating back to the time of the Spanish Conquest. This discovery served as inspiration for Piers Anthony's most ambitious novel yet in an extraordinary career, a monumental saga of the Native Americans, Tatham Mound.
Apprenticed to an Indian trader, the young Throat Shot travels throughout the known world, meeting other tribes, learning their languages, encountering the women who would be his wives, and conversing with the spirits of the dead, the ancestors who would instruct him on the purpose of his wanderings. For Throat Shot was born in a fateful time. In his later years, renamed Tale Teller, he would be repository of Indian lore and the interpreter who accompanies the Conquistador de Soto on the march through the Southeast that would ultimately spell doom for his people.
TATHAM MOUND is a poignant vision of the Spanish Conquest for the Indian viewpoint, a chronicle of a lost culture, brimming with the lore, the achievements, and the courage of an utterly vanished American tribe.
