THE BRASS CHRONICLE
A Novel
Frontier Western
by Brian F Turner

Fifteen-year-old Francois Brassard escapes from the law after avenging the murder of his brother. He changes his name and, as "Frank Brass," finds adventure and danger on the northern plains. Eventually, after scrapes with the law and the Sioux, young Frank finds himself in the Canadian border country. As a hunter for the Northwest Mounted Police, he meets and befriends the Blackfeet Indians.
With his Blackfeet friends, he hunts buffalo, raids other tribes for ponies and marries a beatiful Piegan girl. He sees firsthand the Indians' confusion and anger as their way of life gives way to a new order, and he is eventually forced to deal with the brutality of his own race.
