The Hider: A Classic Western Novel

They went out to hunt buffalo-and became the hunted.

The American West was once home to vast herds of buffalo, creatures so numerous they were believed indestructible. Now, only one remains, making a lonely migration toward extinction. Hunting this final beast is The Hider-a relic of another era, a man driven by a quest that borders on myth.

For eighteen-year-old Jeff Curry, the old tracker and his vision of a lone buffalo seem like nothing more than legends. The Hider claims to have followed the animal from Arizona to Oregon, a place where buffalo haven't been seen in over a decade. Seizing the chance for adventure, Jeff joins him, only to find that this journey is far more perilous than he imagined.

When they cross paths with an Indian wrongly accused of murder, the buffalo hunt turns into a manhunt. Now, Jeff is on the run, targeted by both the law and ruthless men who will stop at nothing to see him captured-or killed.
