The Big Sky is the first of A.B. Guthrie's epic adventure novels of America's vast frontier.  It is a story as great as the land that inspired it, sweeping westward from Kentucky, up the Missouri River into Indian Country.  Towering above the novel is Guthrie's unforgettable hero, Boone Caudill, a true mountain man driven by a raging hunger for life and a longing for the blue sky and brown earth of the big, wild places.  A legend before he turns 20, Boone becomes a powerful White Savage, an untamed life force that only one woman, the beautiful daughter of a Blackfoot chief, would dare to love.  It is this magnificent spirit that Guthrie celebrates with his vivid storytelling--the glory of the bigness, the wildness, the freedom and undying dream of the West.
