Description

Book Synopsis
This is an account of an Indian people's struggle to maintain an identity in American society. Also included is a study of ""The Mohawks in High Steel"" by Joseph Mitchell.

Trade Review
One more of those pieces of research and detection which set him [Wilson] apart from all other American critics. He has his feet well-planted in American life. A work to be read for sheer pleasure, for the sake of a fascinating true story delightfully told. This is one book every American concerned with every aspect of personal identity should not miss. Provocatively suggests that the great American ideal of liberty, fathered by western Christian culture, for­ got itself when it came to grips with the Indian and his differentness. It hasn't remembered itself yet.
