Review "Mr. Manfred's novel carries the feel of open country, of grass and wind, sun and rain, moonlight and starlight. . . . It is harshly real."—New York Herald Tribune (New York Herald Tribune)“Manfred has woven a wondrously complex story of a young Sioux warrior’s search for the inner core of manhood’s dignity—the ability to live with oneself.”—San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco Chronicle)“Here is Indian lore, humor, customs, daily life, religion, identification with nature—and superb endurance in full detail, color, and understanding. Strenuous—and satisfying.”—Kirkus Reviews (Kirkus Reviews)“His narrative has in it both the kick of actual life and the power of vision. . . . A fine and attractive story.”—New York Times (New York Times)

10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. The start of a great saga By Steve Frederick Manfred is one of the great lost American writers, and "Conquering Horse" is the beginning of the five-novel cycle (the "Buckskin Man" tales) at the core of his achievement. This novel takes place among the Sioux in the early 1800s, before white settlers started appearing in the region Manfred dubbed "Siouxland." Subsequent titles take in the Mountain Man era ("Lord Grizzly"), the horrifying violence of the 1862 Sioux Uprising ("Scarlet Plume"), the havoc wrought by gold miners in the 1870s ("King of Spades"), and the final transformation of the West in the image of Old World values ("Riders of Judgment") with a new century coming into view. Manfred is a superbly evocative writer, and taken as a whole the five novels (which were published out of sequence) create a unified picture of the Old West that is harsh and unsentimental, yet filled with grandeur and extraordinary writing.
13 of 17 people found the following review helpful. I was spellbound with anticipation of the outcome. By A Customer I have always been interested in the old west. The various customs of the Native Americans and the ways that the minds of prior generations worked in their own times. I have always had a love of horses and this novel certainly kept my attention. This book is only one of the Buckskin Man Series. They are all excellent. They have an order in which they should be read to be most effective because of the dates. If I can remember the order they are as follows. 1. Conquering Horse. 2. Lord Grizzley 3. Riders of Judgement 4. Jack of Spades 5. Scarlet Plum I was not disappointed in one of these. Frederick Manfred also wrote under the name of Fredrica. I do however, have a few of his books that I do not like. His home was in Minnesota and the area that he writes about in all these novels is the five state area around Minnesota.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Expectations By darkpassenger A great story with excellent pacing and descriptive writing. A regional MN writer, Frederick Manfred is definitely a must-read for anyone interested in the area.
