Book Review of My Life as an Indian

My Life as an Indian
reviewed Surprisingly good! on + 404 more book reviews


" No fiction of the old West can compare with this rare personal account of a dedicated adventurer. His sojourn among the Blackfoot Indians, his love affair with the beautiful Indian girl who became his bride, his unique experiences as a member of the tribe...on hunts and on the warpath...are unfolded in spellbinding detail." from the book cover

I have read many diaries and true accounts of the early west; some of them are tantalizingly sparse. This book is the best written account I have read, with much better details about how they lived, ate, traveled and worked. Surprisingly good, non-fiction.
