Book Description
Albert W. Aiken skilfully mixes Native American mythology and western frontiers together in "Dead Shot; Or, The White Vulture" to tell the story of the White Vulture, a fearless fighter and chief of the Crow Nation. The story, which takes place in the untamed landscapes of Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana, explores the problem of an unstoppable hero up against an extraordinary foe. Aiken writes in the traditional American western style, adding vivid descriptions and a keen awareness of the social, political, and cultural context of the American West in the 19th century to enhance the story. Readers who are curious about the fictional depiction of Native American history and culture should definitely read "Dead Shot; Or, The White Vulture." Western movie buffs should also consider this book. It claims to immerse readers in the emotional and metaphoric journey of the gigantic leader, White Vulture, whose mythology is as large and eternal as the plains he commands, with its compelling plot and strong growth of characters. Presented via an analytical and comprehensive viewpoint, Aiken's art is perfect for individuals who enjoy nostalgia and excitement of the Old West.
