5.0 out of 5 stars One great book, June 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Buffalo Knife (Paperback)
To everyone, I wanted to take a moment to tell you how wonderful this book is. I first read it in Junior High School, I fell in love with it. I mustve read it 3 or 4 times since. Its a wonderful story, like all Steele books it leaves the reader spellbound at the end. The description says ages 9-12 but you can be MUCH MUCH older to enjoy this book. It is really a book for anyone with a sense of adventure and an imagination. :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Seven-year-old grandson couldn't put this down, April 16, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Buffalo Knife (Hardcover)
Thank you for your prompt shipment of this item. My grandson completed this book in one day, walking around the house with his nose in the book. I was in hopes that it would arrive during the week that he was staying with us. William O. Steele is his new favorite author, having discovered him first in "Daniel Boone". Massbookstore mailed it immediately.
