The Last Prairie won First Place at the 2024 BookFest Awards!
Experience a world of hair-raising adventure, mind-bending history, and a struggle for redemption and survival.
Will Echo and Pony outwit those who stand against the Osage?
Will Echo solve the clues to an ancient mystery that could redefine Paleolithic history?
From award-winning author, Ron Rohrbaugh, history meets modern-day in this page-turning outdoor adventure filled with survival, mystery, and science.
In this historical adventure series for children and adults, twelve-year-old woodsman Echo Orion, (from the Living Wild with the Orions series), and Pony Proudchief find themselves in the middle of a 150-year battle that began when market hunters destroyed the bison that was the Native American’s lifeblood. As Pony’s Osage tribe seeks to recover a piece of their lost world, they must battle a new foe that threatens their modern-day Grand Bison Hunt.
In the middle of this long-standing battle over sacred traditions versus progress, Echo pairs up with an outcast scientist named Doc Grinnell who has lost everything in his search for truth. To save Doc’s reputation, Echo must follow ancient clues to unlock an extinction mystery that will rock the scientific world.
"As an elementary school librarian, I can not wait to share this adventure with my students. Like Book 1 this second books vivid descriptions take my students to place they would never go otherwise."
"I LOVED reading "Echo" (the first book in this series), and I can't believe it, but "The Last Prairie" is EVEN BETTER. The book is written for older kids (maybe 8-12?) but it was an absolute page-turner for me and I'm in my 40's. I felt like I was right next to Doc, Echo and Pony as they solved ancient mysteries, experienced the adventure of a lifetime, conducted scientific research, and restored beautiful cultural traditions on the prairie.
