I second the comments of the previous reviewer. I read this book as a twelve year old, and have spent the last twenty years looking for another copy. Hard to find, but well worth the search.

I just read Brave Buffalo Fighter, and thought it was a pretty good book. I didn't read it as a child, but decided to read it now, because I liked the Great Brain books so much, that I wanted to read more by John D. Fitzgerald. While the book kept my attention, I was surprised that the story was much more dramatic and had a harsher storyline than his other writings. This story lacked the humor of his other stories, but had the same historical fiction qualities.

Having grown up on the East side of Utah, the Great Brain was a treasured child hood companion. However, I had completely forgotten that John Fitzgerald wrote this book too. My third grade teacher, Mr. Cody Jenkins read this book to us and I remember being "transported" to the times of the book--a feat that only great books can accomplish.

My 10 year old son LOVED this book. It kept his attention and he could not put it down. Great Boook!!

I read this book to my husband and sons, in the car, while on a trip. They were captivated and wouldn't let me stop reading. Great story.

I was very happy to see this title in print again. I stumbled across it in the library as a child. I was a huge fan of the Great Brain series, but when I read this book it quickly became my favorite. Finding it in print again all these years later was like running into an old friend!

I too have been searching for this book almost 20 years later. It's a book that you read and never forget. I could tell you the story and haven't read the book since 1985. How can such a great book be out of print?
