THE BUCKSKINS
A Novel

      “This is a historical novel set in the West in the 1800s. The two heroes, Rees Marquette and Nat Cochran, become guides for some Wyandot Indians, work their way West for more exciting adventures with the Comanches and Apaches. They learn how the Mountain Men live and do their trapping and hunting. Their survival skills are challenged as they make their way down into Colonial New Mexico. Their story ends as they work to establish a ranch in the Jicarilla Mountain Area. As with his other books, Apache Shadows and Son of Manitou, Booky has done extensive historical research and the book, though fiction, is based on fact.”
