Marvellous * New York Times *
A compelling account...Vivid, poignant and authoritative * The Herald *
This is a very good book. Like virtually all good books about the American Indian, it tells a tragic story, but unlike many of them, it tells it well. The author has mastered an extensive and complex subject: he is flexible, well-organized, and sensitive -- Larry McMurtry
