To 18-year-old Jeff Curry, the old hider and the buffalo he hunted was something of a myth, like a ghost from the past stalking a dream. The old man claimed to have tracked the last of the mighty beasts all the way from Arizona to Oregon, where buffalo hadn't been seen in ten years. It was the chance for adventure that Jeff had ached for. But when these two men help an Indian wanted for murder, the buffalo hunt turns into a manhunt--and Jeff is one of the prey.
