The Legend of Running Wolf : An Historical Native American Fiction Story

The Legend of Running Wolf is a fictional, historical story of the People, the Native American Comanche Nation, and a Comanche Tribe known as the Buffalo Eaters Tribe, in the mid 1600's, still existing in prehistoric conditions. The story tells of the beginning of their destruction as an independent people, different in many ways from other Native American tribes. They were one of the first tribes to feel the advancement of the white skins into their hunting grounds. These Native Americans who lived and died on the plains had no formal writing. Stories were told and retold of Comanche warriors who stood out among their fellow human beings as being more brave or having the twist of fate acknowledge their existence. These stories were told and retold over and over so the People would never forget.

These strong men and women, the People, destroyed the Spanish dream of an empire in North America; they nearly destroyed the Mexican frontier and stopped the French advance in the Southwest states. Most importantly, they delayed the advance of an American conquest for at least two generations.

Most of the People were simply scattered bands who wandered throughout their existence. They were primarily stone age hunters and fighters. They never built anything permanent, never planted any seeds, and made all their tools, arrows and spears, clothing, everything they needed in their lives, from animal meat and bones, hides, wood and stone. This is a story of one of the many tribes. This band, The Buffalo Eaters Band, led by their strong Warrior Chief, Two Bears, begins with the Buffalo Eaters attacking a Crow village and capturing a young male child.

It is a brutal story with each chapter acknowledging a future peril. These were brutal times and the People's judgments were often a scene of continuing brutalities. This story is of a different time in the early history of our beloved country.  

As you follow the lives of Two Bears, Crooked Nose the strong Medicine Man of the tribe, and Running Wolf throughout his life, you will be transported to a different time in our history, and you will understand what life was like as one of the true People.  As you begin your journey with the Comanche Buffalo Eaters Tribe, you will experience courage and fearlessness in battle, not only with other human beings, but with the raw nature of their existence as well. You will hear their stories, taste their food and feel their pain as well as happiness, as they live their lives as their great spirit totems and the ancients lived. Free.
