Buffalo Daze
An Indian Reservation Robin Hood, "Indian cowboy" Jim Grinder was an outlaw to the government but a hero to his Tribe, who as the Old West passed and the world stumbled toward war fought a law that would make his very existence a crime. Told through the eyes of the Old West's most influential artist, CHARLES MARION RUSSELL, Buffalo Daze contains the story of North America. An epic from both sides of the northern border, the life of "Indian cowboy" JIM GRINDER is the avatar for the continent as the frontier closes and both America and Canada lurch toward a world war. A legendary real life that until now was buried in obscurity, Grinder never appeared on a wanted poster or in a dime novel, but richly deserved it. Considered a hero among his Tribe but dubbed an outlaw by PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S and Canadian PRIME MINISTER SIR WILFRID LAURIER'S governments, a brush with vigilante justice leads Grinder to flee what remains of his Shuswap First Nation homeland among British Columbia's goldfields and cross the US border with only the clothes on his back, a string of horses, and what he feared was the law breathing down his neck. After reacquainting with the SUNDANCE KID, a "pard" from his cowboying days in Alberta, Grinder has a brief sojourn with BUTCH AND THE WILD BUNCH, before trying to lose himself on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana - but destiny won't allow it. —Alec Jones
