CRISIS AT FORT LARAMIE by Barbara Bonham

CRISIS AT FORT LARAMIE

By

Pub Date: Sept. 1st, 1967
Publisher: Meredith

An army n' Indians scenario in the black-and-white morality tradition tells a naive tale of a thirteen-year-old American boy's friendship with a brave, Red Bear. The pinto rides and language sessions stand young Matt in good stead when some bad whites goad the ""friendlies"" to attack; representing his father (the fort's C.O.), he makes peace, then bids a sad farewell to Red Bear. A pure example of the genre, one TV Special long.
