Reviews

[William R.]

Fantastic read.... A view of a pioneer hero who, in today's world, is not as well remembered as he should. Written by his own sister, it is entertaining, informative and inspiring. I recommend this book with heartfelt enthusiasm to anyone with a mind for history, adventure and romance.

[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fictionalized account of the life of "Buffalo Bill" Cody told in the voice of his sister. It is a good read suitable for teens and closely follows events of the Westward movement of America.
