[ This is a first-rate example of historical fiction. Author Derrick Page weaves an adventure that any reader who enjoys literary classics will find a page-turner. Think - a blend of the energies, intrigue and deft historic insights evident in Robert Louis Stevenson's epic pirate quest, Treasure Island, salted with James Fenimore Cooper's frontier saga, The Last of the Mohicans, with characters drawn from Alex Haley's fictionalized family drama, Roots. Most Americans know little about the Atlantic Slave Trade or Native American tribes. The novel blends those realities into a fast-paced struggle for justice and freedom that sets a greedy slave-trader disguised as an explorer against an African maiden whose visions help her birth, inspire and guide a legendary hero. Page's choice of a buffalo warrior syncs with a wide range of Native American legends about the mystical animal.] - Vincent G. / Reedsy Discovery
[The result shows intricate knowledge of the life and culture on the 15th century high seas, Triangular Trade, Olmec and plains Indian cultures, as well as colonial Europeans. Readers might find themselves suddenly prompted to revisit their history. At the least, check out The New York Times' 1619 Project or the either of the books by Nicole Hannah-Jones that spun from the series. Her works, like Page's novel show that historical confluences can spawn an extraordinary life.] - Vincent G. / Reedsy Discovery
"Page's characters are products of their times who find themselves on a path toward justice. Quanah is even drawn into the spirit world. You will be astounded at pirate Captain James Morgan's devious obsession for a woman he can never possess, yet marvel at how greed corrupts humanity".- Vincent G. / Reedsy Discovery
The novel's strengths is that Page masters elements of prose and dialogue to hold readers attentions. He builds characters in circumstances that can leave readers sleepless. Legend of the Buffalo Warrior adds a new hero to the national pantheon. The author paints an early American portrait that graphically shows a real American story is far from simple.]- Vincent G. @reedsy.com
