Where the Buffalo Roam Michael Zimmer

MICHAEL ZIMMERWinner of the 2015 Wrangler Award for Outstanding Western Novel for The Poacher's DaughterHE WAS CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS, WITH FREEDOM FLOWING IN HIS BLOOD... Born a slave on an East Texas cotton plantation, Clay Little Bull was captured by the Kiowa as a small child and raised among the wild tribes. But at the age of twenty, he left the only home he'd ever known and began a journey in search of freedom. Now, an outcast among whites, blacks, and Indians, Clay came face to face with the hypocrisy and lawlessness that ruled the West-and drew first blood when he escaped from a band of Kansas slave hunters. Joining forces with an adventure-seeking buffalo hunter named Ty Calhoun, he led a band of freed men and a beautiful young Indian woman across the great, windswept Western plains in search of a place where he belonged. But with every mile he traveled, Clay moved closer to a truth he was born with: that freedom isn't found in a place or a people, but in a man's willingness to love, fight and die. An epic novel of friends, enemies, blood feuds and the yearning of restless souls, WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM is rare, sweeping western adventure in the classic tradition of Lonesome Dove.
