Review:Very well written. Quite detailed and was a joy to read. Living is the Northwest it was a part of history I was really not aware of. This is a book that everyone should read and come to terms with how we treated the Native Americans. Read more

Review:I was amazed at the amount of information revealed in one place about our history! Yet, I was saddened to know that so much of this information is not known.

Review:This is a terrific book that can actually inspire you about the prospect of getting older! I first read it as a reading assignment in a college class about NW authors nine years ago. I then took it on a family vacation to lend to my septuagenarian mother, and my teen-aged nephew picked it up and finished it during the vacation.
