The journals of Lewis and Clark record that on July 27, 1806, a Blackfeet Indian chief was killed in an encounter with that now-famous expedition. In the same journal, a few pages earlier, is a reference to an unnamed white man who was living with the Blackfeet a few miles away. This is his story. His Indian name was Yellow Hair, and that fatal encounter changed the entire course of his life?sending him on an exciting and daring mission across a vast unmapped and hostile wilderness. L. Ron Hubbard's first published book and full-length Western novel, Buckskin Brigades was a pioneering work in many ways: for its unconventional and honest portrayal of American Indian culture, for its authentic historical detail and its strong awareness of environmental factors. |

| Publisher Description: The Lewis & Clark murder of a Native American Blackfoot Indian changes the course of history. One white man raised by the Blackfeet--Yellow Hair--undertakes a treacherous adventure across the uncharted wilderness. Experience a panoramic journey across the pages of American history in this thrilling story of a proud, courageous man pushed to the limits of endurance. . . and of a country on the threshold of a bloody conflict that will change it forever. "Mr. Hubbard has reversed a time-honored formula and has given a thriller to which, at the end of every chapter or so, another paleface bites the dust.. . . has] an enthusiasm, even a freshness and sparkle, decidedly rare in this type of romance." --New York Times |
