Buckskin Brigades: An Authentic Adventure of Native American Blood and Passion

A stirring historical adventure that sweeps across the rugged Northwest even as a nation and its destiny are being forged. 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.
