Lakota Cowboy

Medal Gold Winner - Will Rogers Literary Award


“Here, manifest destiny collides with native mysticism.”


Meet the last open range cowboy and the last nomadic Native American. Better yet, be present for their first handshake in the pages of Lakota Cowboy. Their stories become entwined in an unlikely friendship, but cannot change the inexorable march of history. Inspired by true events, Lakota Cowboy the novel is your eyewitness encounter with the winning, and losing, of the American West.


“I have been reading the chapters you sent. I must say they are deep and touching for me as a Lakota reader. You are a writer in possession of empathy for detail and human feelings. You’ve managed to shed light and understanding on Lakota thought, philosophy and most of all reverence or as I say, spiritual intelligence.” —Jhon (not John) Goes In Center, noted Oglala Lakota elder


“Lakota Cowboy provides a beautifully human touch to the story of two cultures intersecting at dramatically different times in their histories.”—South Dakota Magazine


“In Lakota Cowboy the last open range cowboy and last Native American ride across the Little Big Horn into a world of surprise endings.” —BookLife
