Helpful Score: 1

Depressing. Well-written enough to carry through to the end, but not a book I wish to keep. Some of the comparisons by other authors suggest Mr. Fergus writes along the lines of Dee Brown, which I find to be totally ludicrous. Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, is a splendid and straightforward compilation of the facts. This is a work of fiction, that while containing components of fact, is most certainly not. Mr. Fergus skill as a writer is just fine, however he does not match Dee Brown. That being said, the story cannot help but be depressing, based as it is, upon circumstances which truly came to pass and should be a source of much shame for this country. In that regard, Mr. Fergus has accomplished his mission.
