Bob Hampton of Placer

"Bob Hampton of Placer" by Randall Parrish

Former U.S. Army Capt. and hero of the story, Bob Hampton joins a party of settlers who are preparing a raiding party on the Sioux camp near the Little Bighorn River. While getting caught up in the excitement, Bob manages to save the life of a girl known as «The Kid» from the siege. The romance and adventure of the American West are present in spades in this book which was so beloved it even inspired a 1921 movie of the same name.
