Buffalo Women's Trail One Sneaker

Product Information

New York Times–bestselling author of The Last Gunfight Jeff Guinn once again brings the Old West to life in the grand follow-up to Glorious.

I definitely favored the chapters with the tribe better. I just found those more interesting. Quanah is trying very hard to save his people and their way of life. And he realizes that the normal way that they do things isn't enough: they have to try something new. And so he tries to bring many different groups in the area together to fight a common enemy. The way he arranged this is rather brilliant as it's a unique idea. So I enjoyed these chapters even if they were sometimes bloody and violent. Guinn recommends in his Notes the outstanding S. C. Gwynne book, Empire of the Summer Moon: Quannah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History, and I heartily concur. Buffalo Trail is the kind of book that can get anyone excited about history. With the exception of our head character, all the main players are real people. They lived, they breathed, they fought these battles. So when we get a story like this, one that follows two sides of the same story--it adds a whole other level of excitement. It is easy enough to get invested into a story when the action is good and the characterization is worthwhile, even easier when you know that most of what is articulated is stuff for the history books.This book is historical and a good read for those who have an interest in the American West. It will encourage the reader to read and find more information on the characters as well as the area. I won a complimentary copy of Buffalo Trail from www.goodreads.com. This is an uncorrected proof copy but I did not see and errors. The opinions are my own. Author Jeff Guinn is a well-respected writer of nonfiction, incorporating extensive research into his published works. I’ve read several of his non-fiction books and have always come away thoroughly impressed. In this fictional trilogy, he maintains that high level of research, which is clearly evident in the story. In this book, every one of the major characters (other than Cash McLendon) is a historical person. The chapters from Quanah's point of view contain lots of interesting themes regarding his culture and the nuances of the other allied tribes. The climactic battle was absolutely awesome and ranks up there with the best western battles I've ever read. It became known as the Second Battle of Adobe Walls. The chapters alternate between Cash’s point of view and Quanah’s. This allows us to understand the motivations, the characters involved, and even the tactics. This may be classified as fiction but, really, it is history told in fictional form. Whether you want to be out running, step up your fashion quotient, or stand tall with an inch or two propping you up, BUFFALO sneakers spell urban chic and lightness, every step of the way. Vegan is IN - Leather is Out!

In another departure from the genre, Guinn’s West is funny. McClendon and Masterson hunting buffalo:

Full of historical notable figures from the Old West, this second volume in Guinn’s trilogy not only provides a buoyant narrative but also several lessons in Western history. This title is so well constructed that it could stand alone (for readers new to the trilogy). Guinn skillfully ties his carefully constructed prolog outlining the Massacre at Sand Creek (1864) to a lone female warrior he imagines at the Second Battle at Adobe Walls.”—Library Journal I debated on a 4 or 5 star because of the language and graphic details but this is historical and so I will give it a 5 star rating. I will admit I skipped over some of the more graphic details. With that out of the way, the story alternates between the Native American tribes (mainly the Comanche) and the white settlers who are in the area. They both want buffalo but for different reasons. And of course the two groups end up clashing with each other. BUFFALO sneakers are here to amp up your wardrobe game with its excess of 20 color combinations – that’s one exciting color palette to browse through! After barely escaping nemesis Killer Boots in the tiny Arizona Territory town of Glorious, Cash McLendon is in desperate need of a safe haven somewhere—anywhere—on the frontier.
