Reviews

The Life of Ten Bears will quickly become required reading in a range of disciplines and will be enjoyed by a broad, popular readership. It is a treasured addition to historical narratives authored by members of Native American communities in the twentieth century. Daniel Swan, curator of ethnology, Sam Noble Museum, University of Oklahoma--Daniel Swan (09/15/2015)

A remarkable collection. -Bob Edmonds, McCormick Messenger -- Bob Edmonds McCormick Messenger Native historical accounts are the 'holy grail' for scholars working in borderlands or colonial contact situations.
