This is not something I would normally choose to read, but I gave it a chance as I enjoy Native American culture. It was about as captivating and informative as I can imagine a book on this topic could be. Impressive, enlightening and highly recommended.

I can see how this popular culture book could reach more people than historical monographs. 

Overall the author recounts and makes the history come alive. At one point though, I felt he was renunerating atrocities on both sides too much.

the sixth impaled baby didn't have as much impact as the first five.

 

I will say however, I had been led to believe this was less history and more fiction. Inside not feeling that way reading it. Given my research, he glossed over a couple of points but didn't embellish. He does mention that Goodnight was the sole proprietor of the canyon when we know he was a part owner with financial backing from JA.
