| Summary |
"Buffalo Bill's Boy Bugler; Or, The Last of the Indian Ring" by Colonel Prentiss Ingraham is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the legendary figure Buffalo Bill (William F. Cody) and his associates as they navigate the tumultuous interactions between cattlemen and sheepmen in the Wild West, along with the impending complications involving Native American tribes. The main characters introduced include Buffalo Bill himself and a range of colorful figures such as "Red Dick," "Fighting Dan," and "Wild Bill," each embodying the fierce spirit and lawlessness of the era. At the start of the story, tensions rise in Bozeman as Red Dick and Doc Downs face trial for their violent altercations with sheep herders, which stir the local populace into a frenzy. Amidst this chaos, Buffalo Bill arrives with his companions on a government mission to address the encroachments by settlers on Native lands and to investigate corrupt government officials. As public sentiment becomes increasingly charged, Buffalo Bill's reputation precedes him, leading to confrontations with local bad men, including Fighting Dan Grey, who enters the scene with much bravado. The opening portion sets the stage for a gripping tale of adventure, conflict, and the social struggle between different factions in the evolving western landscape.
