BUCKSKIN BILL; OR, The White Demon of the Woods.
A ROMANCE OF THE BLACKFOOT COUNTRY.
BY GUY GREENWOOD, AUTHOR OF “THE PHANTOM FOE; OR, THE MAID OF MONTMORENCI,” ETC.
Buckskin Bill is a character. The Far West produces many odd specimens of men, but none whose claim to oddity is stronger than Bill’s. Rough as a bear, he is gentle as a fawn. Brave as a lion, he is afraid of a young girl’s frown. Untutored as a savage, he is yet as wise and shrewd as a minister of war.
In his daughter we have his perfect contrast. The beautiful child-woman is not only grace itself, but is bravery itself; and though apparently as wild as the mustang which she rides, is as true to a pure woman’s instincts as if raised as a petted child of the parlor.
The secondary persons of the stirring story are the captain of the expedition of observation; the dreaded Demon Slayer, whose track seemed marked with the blood of the Blackfeet, and the Indian chief, whose cunning and thirst for scalps gives the leading incidents to the drama.
The novel is alive with action, rapid in its incident-movement, exciting and strange.
