The Buffalo Hunter Hunter - Stephen Jones
Set in the early days of Montana, this haunting historical novel follows Good Stab, a Blackfeet man who wanders the lands of the Blackfeet Nation in search of justice and reckoning. The story begins in 2012 when a hidden diary written by a Lutheran pastor in 1912 is discovered inside a wall, uncovering a dark and nearly forgotten history tied to the deaths of 217 Blackfeet people left to perish in the snow. Through a series of confessional interviews, Good Stab recounts his strangely long and unnatural life, revealing generations of violence, grief, and survival. As past and present intertwine, the novel explores the devastating legacy of colonialism, cultural trauma, and the lingering ghosts of history. Atmospheric and deeply unsettling, it blends historical fiction with mystery and supernatural undertones to tell a powerful story of memory, injustice, and endurance.
