Overrated but readable, Mar 5 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buckskin Brigades (Paperback)
I'm a bit puzzled by all the positive reviews of Buckskin Brigades. Did we all read the same book? This is definitely not top notch fiction. Yellow Hair is a white man raised by Blackfeet, who eventually encounters "his own kind," with fireworks resulting. There isn't much plot to speak of, the action isn't gripping, and as usual for Hubbard the characters are pretty shallow. I do remember enjoying it somewhat, but for a relatively short book (c. 300 pages) it sure does drag on. Almost the only part worth recommending is that it's sort of an "anti-Western," in that the whites are depicted as the bad guys. Pretty unusual for the mid-30s, and a refreshing perspective even now. Other than that, this book isn't terrible, but IMO it's not worth more than a library browse.

Heavy Handed, May 25 2000
By Robby Elieson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Buckskin Brigades (Paperback)
The main point of this book, as I see it, is to illustrate the supreme goodness of the Native Americans of the 18th and 19th century, while depicting the vile loathsomeness of the white European encroachers. This point is made with every character and scene description in the book. While I enjoyed learning the author's opinions, eventually I felt pummeled by the repeated blows. This is the first book I have given up reading after completing 85% of the story. I just couldn't take it anymore.

Fantastic Story!!!, May 13 2012
By Scott Gregory - Published on Amazon.com
I absolutely love this story! Its very authentic and one can tell L.Ron Hubbard not only did his research well but he also drew upon his own experiences with the Indians from his childhood. If you like Louis L'amour and specifically his book Last of the Breed you will enjoy Buckskin Brigades!
Listmania!
