The legend of Buffalo Bill explodes across the page in this rip-roaring frontier adventure. When cattle barons and sheepherders collide over the sparse grazing lands of the open range, young Billy Stokes, a bugler in Buffalo Bill's legendary scouts, finds himself caught between warring factions and the collapsing world of the Old West. As the Indian nations rage against the encroachment of settlers and the government that pushes them from their ancestral lands, Bill Cody must navigate treacherous politics, violent showdowns, and the slow death of a frontier that refuse to go quietly. Ingraham, who actually knew Buffalo Bill personally, writes with the breathless energy of a man telling tales around a campfire, spinning a yarn where heroes are heroes, villains wear black hats, and the American West stretches infinite toward a horizon that is already closing. This is pure dime-novel adrenaline, the kind of story that made boys dream of riding across the plains with the most famous scout in American history.
