I always enjoy a good western tale especially one that is doesn't hold back on the guts, glory and stupidity of winning the West. "Buffalo Trail" begins with our lonely romantic Cash trying to make money to get back to his long lost sweetheart so they can be married. He joins a buffalo hunt thinking it will be a quick way to make a buck only to find out that the hardships on the trail and the unwelcome attention of the Native American population makes his job tough. The secondary story is that of Quanah Parker and the joining of the Indian Nation to go fight and rid their land of the annoying and wasteful White Man. I found Quanah's story much more interesting and was fascinated by the fierceness and determination on their part to band together and not give up without a fight. They seemed out-manned and out-gunned but had more passion than the buffalo hunters, settlers and the Army. Jeff Guinn's quirky characters make for an interesting read and there is just enough realism to make you glad you did not live during those times.
