From the Introduction- "Writers of books about the Old West- both fact and fiction- are almost as numerous as the white and red warriors who lived that colorful chapter of American history. However, a few of these authors stand out above all the rest as literary giants. Such a man was Walter Stanley Campbell (Stanley Vestal), novelist, biographer, historian, master teacher of writers, a plainsman who loved the Indian way of life and was twice adopted by Sioux chiefs, artillery captain, Rhodes Scholar, and above all, an exhaustive researcher who sought out first-hand information about plains Indians and frontiersmen whose experiences he recorded for future generations."
