happypurchaseindia.blogspot.com/2020/07/historical-novels-best-sellers.html
In a current literary climate that tends to emphasize the latest works, we are forgetting
so many good historical novels were published years ago. They may no longer be
prominently displayed in your local bookstore but they’re still definitely worth seeking
out and reading.
Here are a few historical novels and articles by Walter Stanley Campbell, that have
inspired me over the years. I learned something about writing from these, and I’d bet
that you will too.
Walter Stanley Campbell, a novelist and a historian, graduated from the New
Institution, Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weather ford. After a long
teaching career, he became a professional writer. He also encouraged his students for
professional writing. In his total writing career, he published more than two dozens of
historical books and novels. His writings are still inspiration for many writers.
This is likely that this is my first post on such topic, so I wish you the best of luck. I’m
always on the lookout for additional unique, well done historical fiction and novels, so I
look forward to seeing your own published work!

About the book:
Even among the mighty mountain men, Jim Bridger was a towering figure. He was one
of the greatest explorers and pathfinders in American history. He couldn't write his
name, but at eighteen he had braved the fury of the Missouri, ascending it in a keelboat
flotilla commanded by that stalwart Mike Fink. By 1824, when he was only twenty, he
had discovered the Great Salt Lake. Later he was to open the Overland Route, which was
the path of the Overland Stage, the Pony Express, and the Union Pacific. One of the
foremost trappers in the Rocky Mountain Fur Company, he was a legend in his own
time as well as ours. He remains one of the most important scouts and guides in the
history of the West.

3. The Christian Science Monitor has called this biography "probably the fairest portrait of
Jim Bridger in existence." The New York Times
has praise for a "painstaking job of research
among the usual Bridger sources and among
some others which have been neglected. . . .
[The author] has adequately set the scene for his
hero's adventures and has honestly appraised
the great guide's historical stature."Other Bison

About the book:
"If that is Long Hair, I am the one who killed him,"
White Bull, the young nephew of Sitting Bull, said when
Bad Juice pointed out Custer's body immediately after
the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Yet it was
Sitting Bull who acquired the notoriety and was
paraded in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show as
"the warrior who killed Custer." But this new
edition of Stanley Vestal's classic biography of
the famous chief emphasizes that "Sitting Bull's
fame does not rest upon the death of Custer’s
five troops. Had he been twenty miles away
shooting antelope that morning, he would still
remain the greatest of the Sioux."
The stirring account of the death throes of a
mighty nation and its leader is the story of the
"greatest of the Sioux" and his struggle to keep
his people free and united. The Sioux were
formidable warriors, as attested to by men who
fought against them, like General Anson Mills,
who said, "They were the best cavalry in the
world; their like will never be seen again," but
they were up against an overwhelming tide of soldiers, homesteaders, and bureaucrats.
Sitting Bull fought long and hard and "He was ... a statesman, one of the most
farsighted we have had," but statesmanship could not prevail against such odds.
This powerful biography of Sitting Bull is brought to a new generation of readers in h a
new and expanded edition, for much new material had been added to the original
edition (published in 1932) that could not be disclosed while the informants were still
living. Sitting Bull is a moving account of the epic courage of one man in the face of his
inevitable defeat as the last defender of his people's rights.

5. Here is a story, in thinly disguised fictional form, of Plains Indians, especially a
Cheyenne chief, Whirlwind—his manner of life,
his beliefs, and particularly, his love of his son.
The villain is a Mandan who is given refuge in
the Cheyenne camp and then wreaks havoc with
the lives of his hosts. He causes a battle with the
Sioux, steals the chief’s favorite wife, and slays
the chief’s young son. Whirlwind’s revenge for
the death of his beloved son provides a dramatic
climax.
Happy Hunting Grounds recaptures Cheyenne
life on the plains. The battles, celebrations, and
lifeways of the Indians—Sioux, Cheyennes, and
Mandans—are accurately and graphically
portrayed. This volume is illustrated with
drawings and paintings by Frederick Weygold,
reflecting his own long association with the
Plains tribes.

About the book:
Nephew to Sitting Bull, chief of the Sioux, Pte
San Hunka (White Bull) was a famous warrior
in his own right. He had been on the warpath
against whites and other Indians for more than
a decade when he fought the greatest battle of
his life.
On the afternoon of June 25, 1876, five troops of
the U. S. Seventh Cavalry under the command
of George Armstrong Custer rode into the valley
of the Little Big Horn River, confidently
expecting to rout the Indian encampments
there. Instead, the cavalry met the gathered
5/10

6. strength of Sioux and Cheyenne warriors, who did not run as expected but turned the
battle toward the soldiers. White Bull charged again and again, fighting until the last
soldier was dead. The battle was Custer's Last Stand, and White Bull was later referred
to as the warrior who killed Custer.
In 1932 White Bull related his life story to Stanley Vestal, who corroborated the details,
from other sources and prepared this biography. "All that I told him is straight and
true," said White Bull. His story is a matchless account of the life of an Indian warrior.

$9.99 [Kindle]
About the book:
"A tall man, with long black hair, smooth face,
dark eyes (inclining to turn his head a little to
one side, as much as to say, 'I can tell you about
it'), a harum-scarum, don't-care sort of man, full
of life and fun." That's how a contemporary
described Joe Meek." Born in Virginia, Joe
Meek became a trapper, Indian fighter, pioneer,
peace officer, frontier politician, and lover of
practical jokes and Jacksonian democracy. He
was a boon companion to two other larger-than-
life mountain men, Kit Carson and Jim Bridger,
and just as important in frontier history. In
1829, our nineteen-year-old hero joined the
Rocky Mountain Fur Company of Jedediah
Smith and the Sublettes and headed west on an
odyssey of hair-raising high adventure and
hilarious low comedy. For the next twelve years, the Rockies rang with tales of Joe's
wild exploits. After the Last Rendezvous in 1840, he helped drive the first wagons to
Oregon, served in the legislature of the provisional government, and went to
Washington as a special envoy to President Polk. He later returned to Oregon to live out
his days in the community that he helped build. Stanley Vestal (1887-1957) wrote more
than twenty books, including Jim Bridger: Mountain Man, also available as a Bison
Book.

About the book:
The Santa Fe Trail was one of the two great
overland highways originating in Missouri in the
nineteenth century. Several decades before
settlers streamed over the Oregon Trail, traders
were heading southwest. The caravans carried
the wares of Yankee commerce; they returned
loaded with buffalo robes and beaver pelts and
the rich metals of Mexican mines. The
thousand-mile journey “was a perilous cruise
across a boundless sea of grass, over forbidding
mountains, among wild beasts and wilder men,
ending in an exotic city offering quick riches,
friendly foreign women, and a moral holiday,”
writes Stanley Vestal.
This work is in the public domain in the United
States of America, and possibly other nations.
Within the United States, you may freely copy
and distribute this work, as no entity (individual or
corporate) has a copyright on the body of the work.
Vestal begins where the trail does. He describes
outfitting for the trip, the society formed for survival,
the hunt for meat, landmarks, and the dangers. He
evokes the history and legends surrounding the
trail at every point, including figures like Kit
Carson, Jedediah Smith, the Bent brothers, and
Uncle Dick Wooton.
