Jim Bridger's Protégé, Mitch Boyer: Guiding Our Frontier Army

By Ronald V Rockwell

This is a work of historical fiction about a real US Army guide on our frontier, Mitch Boyer aka Buoyer aka Bouyer. Mitch Boyer, one half Sioux and one half Caucasian, possessed unique talents as a result of his intelligence and his mixed-blood background. He utilized these talents, some God given, many learned, to become by 1876 one of the best known US Army guides on the frontier. There is much factual information available on Mitch but there are also great gaps in our day to day knowledge of him. The author has attempted to fill in these gaps with fictional accounts which, given his life's experiences and the environment he lived in, make a very realistic portrayal of Boyer's life along the North Platte, the Overland Trail, the Bozeman Trail, the Yellowstone Valley and the Little Bighorn River where he fell with Custer. Known history relating to Mitch will be sourced; the remainder springs from the author's imagination.
