It is an old west book and all i can remember is in the end, the wagons are circled and the main character hides beneath a wagon or something and when an indian crawls under to kill him, he sees who the main character is and basically wont kill him because the kid somehow impressed the native americans sometime in the book by killing a buffalo i believe? i am inclined to think it is a buffalo bill book – but i cannot seem to find the book itself. it was read to my class in fifth grade and we read it again in sixth, if that helps at all.
