"The Black Fox" is a pure work of fiction but actually stays more firmly planted in fact than many "historical novels".
It was the basis for "The Searchers" movie but resembles it not much at all.
There actually was a "Nigra Brit" who ransomed captured children from the indians.I found his name on a marker at the "Salt Creek Massacre " site as a kid.[but it ain't spelled "nigra"]
