"Crow Feather"
Crow Feather is the story of Hardin Locke, a young rancher who happens to be a blood relative to the Cheyenne and sole heir to the vast Eagle’s Nest Ranch lying in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. Rapid changes are coming to the Wyoming Territory in the 1890’s and Indian rights are non-existent.
Hardin’s fortunes are jeopardized when he is blamed for the downfall of an inept but politically influential cavalry officer who is out to rid the plains of the few remaining free-roaming bands of Indians.
After learning of Hardin’s demise, a land grabbing robber baron hatches a plan to take possession of the Eagle’s Nest. False imprisonment, political corruption, and dispossession of his lands are just some of the obstacles Hardin and a small group of dedicated companions must overcome to take back the legacy that is rightfully his.

"The Lonesome Wind" is episode one of the Buffalo Grass Rider Series. It chronicles the story of Bolton Ashton. Born among the green hills of Tennessee, Bolt shares a distant ancestral link to a savage Cherokee warrior. The young Tennessean represents the rebirth of an ancient curse and the embodiment of a brutal warrior spirit.
Accused of murder in 1861, Bolt flees Tennessee to join the bloody conflict of the Civil War. His journey takes him to Gettysburg, across the dry rolling plains of post war Texas, and finally to the vast buffalo grass ranges of Eastern Montana where this adventure really begins.

Episode One
"The Lonesome Wind"
“Allen Russell is a fresh breeze off the buffalo grass prairie. Just when I had despaired of finding another Zane Grey or Louis Lamour, along comes Allen Russell with his novel, BUFFALO GRASS RIDER. As I read I forgot to eat. His novel is well written, fast paced, with credible characters that only the 1800s could have produced, men and women who made the history of the West so delicious.”
Author of “THE PASTURES OF BEYOND” and many more. Environmentalist, Rancher, Cowboy, and Founder of the Wild Horse Sanctuary.
“Allen Russell is a first class hunting guide and a great storyteller. Every writer should understand the people and the country that he writes about. Allen has been there and experienced it. He appreciates sharp wits and the banter that goes on between real cowboys. Allen brings a realistic look to cattle ranching, horses, weapons, and weather in the old west. Buffalo Grass Rider is a fast moving, believable, sometimes funny, sometimes serious, and sometimes deadly story. It covers a lot of ground from

Bolt Ashton, known to the Indians as Buffalo Grass Rider, and his saddle partner, Eb Monday, are drawn into a plot to steal a huge stockpile of federal bullion hidden deep in the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory. An international coalition of corrupt government officials, former rebels, and Mexican patriots have hatched a daring scheme using the gold to equip an army of mercenaries and finance a lightening quick strike against the southern United States. Thinking the bulk of the American army is engaged in a war with the Plains Indians; the conspirators plan to seize the opportunity and take back the land stolen from Mexico and revive the Confederate States of America. The plan seems to be going well until one of the ringleaders unwisely imprisons Bolt and Eb and takes them to Mexico.
