Editorial Reviews

Provocatively suggests that the great American ideal of liberty, fathered by western Christian culture, for­ got itself when it came to grips with the Indian and his differentness. It hasn't remembered itself yet.

Christian Science Monitor

A work to be read for sheer pleasure, for the sake of a fascinating true story delightfully told.

New York Times Book Review Oliver La Farge

One more of those pieces of research and detection which set him [Wilson] apart from all other American critics. He has his feet well-planted in American life.
