"The value of such a work as Mr. Grinnell has produced can hardly be overstated."—New York Times


"Grinnell was an entertaining and able writer . . . in this case he was also a scientific reporter of ways of life that he supposed would soon be forever lost."—Westerners Brand Book


"A marvelous source book for customs, lore, history, personalities, and manner of speech of this tribe."—Roundup


"Drawing upon the thoughts and actions of individual Cheyennes, Grinnell manages to reconstruct a highly readable account of their culture."—Journal of the American Academy of Religion
