Buffalo Coat (Washington State University Press Reprint) Paperback – September 8, 1993

by Carol Ryrie Brink (Author), Mary E Reed (Foreword)

Purchase options and add-ons

Originally published in 1944, Buffalo Coat spent several weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. The first adult novel written by acclaimed Idaho writer Carol Ryrie Brink, winner of the Newbery Award for the outstanding book of children's literature in 1936, Buffalo Coat has become a classic of Northwest literature. It tells the tale of three doctors who came to Opportunity (Moscow), Idaho, in the 1890s seeking success and fortune in the town with the promising name. At first all attained their private objectives and financial success, symbolized by owning a great buffalo coat to wear through the bitter winters. Then one by one, each of their lives ended in tragedy.

Noted for her human insight and succinct storytelling, Brink's Buffalo Coat was perhaps her finest novel, the first in a trilogy about northern Idaho and eastern Washington that also includes Strangers in the Forest and Snow in the River.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Her writing has warmth, her characters are multi-dimensional, her incidents credible and all too human."

--Chicago Tribune



"The author knows the life of a small town and writes with humor and understanding."

--New York Times



"Unlike most pictures of life in American small towns, Mrs. Brink neither romanticizes nor vilifies."

--The Saturday Review of Literature
