Description
Book SynopsisA sometimes strange, sometimes lyrical, and often humorous attempt by an inveterate storyteller to recount "just things as they were"
Trade Review"From birth to adolescence to war and back again, Salisbury hones in on the quieter moments of life. Steering clear of melodrama, he depicts a world captured in sepia tones, in which understated prose and humble observations best reflect the world that passed him by. . . . Stylistically simple yet structurally complex, Salisbury's latest installment reads as a final chapter to a long, lauded literary life."—
Kirkus"An important glimpse into 20th-century Midwestern life, this book will also be an important addition to the canon of Native American literature."—

Oregonian"The end result of Salisbury's narrative is to intelligently press us into a recognition of the importance of lived experience and urge an active engagement with our collective past, present and as-yet-to-be-created future."—Elizabeth Wilkinson, Star Tribune
"Don't miss out on the life of Mr. Ralph J. Salisbury. . . . This memoir will take you on a journey into American history."—
