The Scout — Will Henry

Will Henry remains one of the most widely recognized and honored novelists ever to write about the American West. As demonstrated by the three novellas in this brilliant collection, throughout his career he was able to create exciting, authentic tales filled with humanity, adventure, and empathy. "Red Blizzard" is the tale of a Pawnee scout caught between the U.S. Army and the Sioux in the time of the wars with Crazy Horse. "Tales of the Texas Rangers" recounts the courageous battle waged by the Rangers against any danger, from Comanches to John Wesley Hardin. The title character in "The Hunkpapa Scout" is a trail guide for a wagon train set upon by rampaging Sioux. He will be the only hope to warn the nearby cavalry troop...if he survives!
