A sweeping western adventure in the classic tradition of Lonesome Dove, “Where the Buffalo Roam” is a remarkable new epic novel of friends, enemies, blood feuds, and the yearning of restless souls.Born a slave on an East Texas cotton plantation, Clay Little Bull was captured by the Kiowa as a small child and raised among the wild tribes. But at the age of twenty, he left the only home he’d ever known and began a journey in search of freedom. Now, an outcast among whites, blacks, and Indians, Clay came face to face with the hypocrisy and lawlessness that ruled the West — and drew first blood when he escaped from a band of Kansas slave hunters. Joining forces with an adventure-seeking buffalo hunter named Ty Calhoun, he led a band of freed men and a beautiful young Indian woman across the great Western plains in search of a place where he belonged. But with every mile he traveled, Clay moved closer to a truth he was born with: that freedom isn’t found in a place or a people, but in a man’s willingness to love, fight, and die.
