Cheyenne Raiders

Yale-educated Thomas McCabe accepts a position with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and is soon sent to live among a nomadic tribe in the wilds of Missouri. After saving the life of a young brave, Thomas is grudgingly accepted by the Cheyenne-until he falls hopelessly in love with the beautiful Night Bird Woman. Determined to marry the girl he has seen all his life in his dreams, Thomas must first prove himself by passing the excruciatingly painful and spiritually breathtaking Test of Fire. It is through this initiation that he is visited by a Spirit Vision, one that carries a message powerful enough not only to teach Thomas the true meaning of courage, but to remake the lives of the proud-and imperiled-people he will come to call family.

Written under the name Jackson O' Reilly, Robert Jordan's historical western Cheyenne Raiders is a stunning tale of the bravery, and discovery of love in the time of war.©1982 Robert Jordan; (P)2001 Books on Tape, Inc.

One of the best and inspiring stories I've read

This was one of the funnest and inspiring books I've read. Learning more about the settling of the west, the lives of a Cheyenne tribe, and a man who loved the Cheyenne people. This took me back and once the book ended I wanted more but the ending is perfect at the same time. You will not go wrong listening to this book.

LOVED IT!

This was dam fine book and made me feel just like I was part of the story. I really enjoyed it and would highly recomend it.

Good western tale

This old west tale is well written and narrated. It does put you there and held my interest til the end. That was my only problem, I did not like the ending. But alas, most things end badly or they wouldn't end. Worth the credit though.

Great story

Agree with some of the others in that you can see glimpses of what Jordan would do in his future. Great story line, the same inner discussions of the main character as multiple characters would face in the WOT.

Loved it! Started to listen to it because I enjoy Robert Jordan's other stories. I read the Fallon series as well, and enjoyed them, just kinda stumbled onto this jem.
