Book Review of One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd

One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd
reviewed on + 3 more book reviews


This is one of those books that manages to be entertaining, gut-wrenching, and thought-provoking all at once. A kind of "what if?" historial novel, ONE THOUSAND WHITE WOMEN explores a woman's journey to an almost alien world, where her concept of "civilized" people is quickly turned around on itself.

If you liked the non-fiction BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE, you'll enjoy this fictional account of the white man's war against the plains Indians.
