Lakota Cowboy

"Here, manifest destiny collides with native mysticism."

Meet the last open range cowboy and the last nomadic Native American. Better yet, be present for their first handshake in the pages of Lakota Cowboy. Their stories become entwined in an unlikely friendship, but cannot change the inexorable march of history. You'll witness that march from the back of a horse as they trot across the Little Bighorn, into the Canadian wilderness, past Wounded Knee Creek, to finally arrive in a homestead world of badlands hardship and romantic heartbreak.

This unsentimental and moving portrait is sweeping in scope but intimate in detail. The easy-reading pages are in fact a deep cultural dive into two societies once thought of as irreconcilable. Inspired by true events, Lakota Cowboy the novel is your eyewitness encounter with the winning, and losing, of the American West.

"I have been reading the chapters you sent. I must say they are deep and touching for me as a Lakota reader. You are a writer in possession of empathy for detail and human feelings. You've managed to shed light and understanding on Lakota thought, philosophy and most of all reverence or as I say, spiritual intelligence." Jhon (not John) Goes In Center, noted Oglala Lakota elder
