Publisher's Synopsis
A Thrilling Wilderness Adventure...Little Kettle sadly watched the last buffalo fall lifeless to the ground in what he had come to call "The Winter of the Red Snow." Educated as a lawyer, he has been waging a legal war to protect the buffalo-their killing sanctioned by the Interagency Bison Management Plan in Yellowstone National Park-but he has been unable to stop the carnage. When his nephew Wyman is born, Little Kettle proclaims him the "Keeper of the Buffalo" and instills in him a deep love for the buffalo as he grows. But the boy struggles under the weight of his title. At twelve years old, Wyman sets out on a great adventure in the wilderness of Yellowstone to save the buffalo-a journey driven by his vivid and compelling dreams. With help from his friends Alex and Jacob, a peace pipe, an Indian maiden, and a mysterious shape shifter, Wyman is determined to discover the secret of his dreams and fulfill his role as the Keeper of the Buffalo.
