Hickok and Cody Book

THE WEST BELONGED TO TWO MEN. DAMN THE FOOL WHO DARED TO TAKE THEIR PLACE.In the wind-swept campsite of the Fifth Cavalry Regiment, along Red Willow Creek, Russia's Grand Duke Alexis has arrived to experience the thrill of the buffalo hunt. His guides are: Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody-two heroic deadshots with a natural flair for showmanship, a hunger for adventure, and the fervent desire to keep the myths of the Old West alive. But what approached from the East was a journey that crossed the line into dangerous territory. It would offer Alexis a front row seat to history, and would set Hickok and Cody on a path to glory.Otto Richter's Orphan Train was nothing more than a traveling asylum for young urchins, stolen off the streets of New York's Lower East Side. Across the country they would be sold to the highest bidder-unless stopped in their tracks. It would take a pair like Hickok and Cody to do it. It would challenge the fearless boundaries of courage, and change forever the very Nebraska frontier that made two men legends.
