Product Description
Product Description
He was called White Buffalo, and he would be the greatest medicine man the People had ever known. The spirit of the ancient gods beat in him like a savage drum--a mystical power as old as the land, as primeval as primitive man himself. But even as he fought to lead his people out of the darkness of the Stone Age, his world trembled on the brink of a great and terrible transformation. It would be a century swept by the inevitable winds of change; a time when ignorant, evil men like the warrior Gray Wolf of the Head-Splitters would seek bloody vengeance, and when once man would fight against all odds to save his tribe and his heritage from brutal destruction.
Ingram

How the Elkdog change their life,
This review is from: The Changing Wind (Paperback)
This was the first book by Don Coldsmith that I readed. I found that this book was great reading. At the start of the book a young White Buffio had a vision of the coming of the horse,{Elkdog}. though his wisdom he lead his people to befreind a spanard whom they called Headsoff. A must read for anyone whom is interested in the North American Native way of life. This and his other book in the series of the Spanish Bit Saga

Read this back in 1990...,
By M. Parent "Companies that are hardest to love... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Changing Wind (Paperback)
Although, I didn't remember the title of the book, since it has been 20 years ago & with young eyes that I read this book, I did remember the gist of this book & after much searching on the INET, I found this.
First of all, it was, in my feeble mind, 20 years ago, a great book. When Dances with Wolves came out, I couldn't help but think of the striking similiarities of this book & the movie(even the original, Blakes "Wolves" where Comanche, just like Coldsmiths). So, here's what I'm debating, should I buy this book & rereview it, with a fresh new perspective? Or should I just leave it, as is, an old, fond memory? This book did spurn me to read more & more 'bout Native American history! After reading this, I picked up Terry C. Johnstons books, one Louis L'Amour book ('bout a Comanche US Airforce pilot of all things!) & Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee, & a whole lot more! (In The Spirit of Crazy Horse...etc.etc) So that just begs the question, should I leave it an old fond memory or read it afresh, & find it to be not worth reading?

Older Paperback, Great Read,
By P. Keosheyan "Live to Read" - Published on Amazon.com
This is an older paperback that was actually recommended by Amazon and fits into a genre that I am reading right now, historical and prehistoric fiction. I will read more of this author. I find him pleasant and laid back and his prose is perfect.His take on the life of the period is detailed and interesting. I am also glad that there is a good sized list for the Spanish Saga Series. I feel like I have discovered a forgotten treasure.
