Customer Reviews

Moby Dick meets the Wild West!

The best movie Charles Bronson made, though why it hasn't been blu-rayed is a mystery. The ethereal, atmospheric feel to the "dream sequences" plus the climactic scenes are truly excellent. Yes, the mechanical Bison (not buffalo) is a little too mechanical, but consider the technology of the time. It is superb.

Better than the movie

Charles Bronson's movie in the 70s follows the book closely, however, I would recommend reading this well crafted book first. I enjoyed the graphic hard hitting detail of two old Western Legends, Crazy Horse and Bill Hickok, in pursuit of the White Buffalo. It is a book you could read and enjoy over and over.
