A Signet Book / New American Library., 1965. First edition. 1st Signet printing.. Mass-market paperback. Very good. Coiver surface soiling. Front lower creasing. Binding tight. Slight blemishing to red page block edges. Spine bubbly crease.. 1 Mass market (rack) paperback. Glued binding. Buckskin Man. Audience: General/trade. Native Nations fiction set among the Yankton Sioux when great legends and great deeds were a way of life. At 17 winters, No Name, a young would-be chieftain is introduced to the reader as he makes his way to his sweetheart's tepee. He would later test his manhood, awaiting a sacred vision that will give him a warrior's name. Told realistically, this story does not portray the Sioux as splendid primitive savages nor as "red devils" common to American westerns and histories written in earlier eras. No Name is part of a proud, tradition-honoring society. Frederick Manfred also authored "Lord Grizzly".
