Trade Review"Harper . . . has done his homework well in ferreting out this forgotten episode. . . . A moving account of science devastatingly and thoughtlessly misapplied, one of the countless tragedies visited on Native America." -- Kirkus Reviews, on the author's previous book, Give Me My Father's Body
"A startling success." -- Boston Globe, on the author's previous book, Give Me My Father's Body
