About the Author
Frederic Sackrider Remington (October 4, 1861 - December 26, 1909) was an American painter, illustrator, sculptor, and writer who specialized in depictions of the Old American West, specifically concentrating on the last quarter of the 19th century American West and images of cowboys, American show more Indians, and the U. S. Cavalry. Remington attended the art school at Yale University. He left Yale in 1879 to take care of his ailing father who had tuberculosis. Remington did not return to Yale, instead when his father died he made a trip out to Montana. This trip colored the type of illustrations, sculpture, and novels he would create for the rest of his life. Remington died after an emergency appendectomy led to peritonitis on December 26, 1909. His extreme obesity (weighing in at nearly 300 pounds) had complicated the anesthesia and the surgery. He is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Canton, New York. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

It being Frederic Remington, you'd think cowboys; but the first few stories are about the soldiers and sailors of the Spanish-American War. Surprisingly decent wordsmithing.
A great novel of the alienation of a white man raised amongst Native American, who cannot fit in with either group. The story has parallels to Tarzan in this white man having natural abilities not found amongst ordinary white men.
