The Buffalo Runners is a thrilling adventure story that also explores important themes of environmentalism, colonialism, and cultural conflict.The remonstrative expression on La Certe's face deepened. The idea of his own taste or comfort had not once entered his head: but he had a wife and child whom he was bound to consider, and he had a hut--a home--in Red River which he felt constrained to look after. Besides, he had social duties of many kinds which claimed attention.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
