I was recently asked to design a book jacket for a novel by Michael Philion. The book deals with the Native American game Baggattaway, or modern day lacrosse. Philion references Pontiac’s Uprising (1763) in the book and how the Native Americans brutally defeat the British by tricking them into a game of Baggattaway. Sculptor Jud Hartmann’s bronzed piece called A Cherokee Ball Game (2007) was used as reference for the cover.
