I will link to your site a little later.<br /><br />Diane, I’m not sure how many of these acts could have been inflicted and a lot of this history is very difficult to read without becoming angry but it’s definitely important to know.<br /><br />Todd, A big part of this book is the Native Americans in their own words and that more than anything else separates this book from others.<br /><br />Kathleen, Thanks. And you had me reading the whole Jeffery MacDonald story again. Hard to believe he married in 2002 and still claims to be "factually innocent."David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-11019882918431624402009-06-05T19:03:53.557-04:002009-06-05T19:03:53.557-04:00Wow...and I thought FATAL VISION was chilling!

Sometimes, such clumsy products as John Ehle's THE TRAIL OF TEARS: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE CHEROKEE NATION, or even BLACK ELK SPEAKS, are put forward as representative of the native nations and peoples...not even close.

This would go along well with your Frontier Medicine that you reviewed on your blog. As a matter of fact, I'm ordering Medicine with my next Amazon batch.<br /><br />Bee, Native American history is compelling and addictive. I have several books on the topic and it never ceases to astound me what these extraordinary people went through.<br /><br />And thank you. It's a real pleasure to stop by other blogs to find out what genres people are reading and the excitement they have for a particular book.David Cranmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04749857752139212888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-30223593262446192762009-06-05T05:05:14.799-04:002009-06-05T05:05:14.799-04:00I particularly enjoyed reading the words of some o...I particularly enjoyed reading the words of some of these Native Americans. Last night, I was reading <i>The Long Winter</i> to my daughter, and there was an interesting scene where an elderly "Indian" showed up in town to warn the white settlers that it was going be a hard winter.<br /><br />BTW, I stopped by to tell you that I admired how you visited everyone in Barrie Summy's book review club. You left such kind, supportive comments.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401124973760279564.post-28758001344782760652009-06-05T00:10:44.298-04:002009-06-05T00:10:44.298-04:00Thanks for making this your FFB, David.
