"The Buffalo Runners: A Tale of the Red River Plains" is a children's
adventure novel set in the American Old West by Scottish author R. M.
Ballantyne. Full of thrilling action, terrible danger, and intrepid
heroism, "The Buffalo Runners" will appeal to children with an interest
in history and would make for a worthy addition to collections of
vintage Western literature. Robert Michael Ballantyne (1825 - 1894) was
a Scottish author of children's fiction. He was a prolific writer and
produced over 100 books in his lifetime. As well as being an author,
Ballantyne was also an accomplished artist, having exhibited his work at
the Royal Scottish Academy. Other notable works by this author include:
"The Coral Island" (1858), "The Gorilla Hunters" (1861), and "The Eagle
Cliff" (1889). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly
scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an
affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially
commissioned new introduction and biography of the author. This book was
first published in 1861.
