The characters in this book are absolutely convincing and real, with one caveat: there is NO WAY a woman of that era, and in those circumstances, would be able to talk so openly and assertively to the male characters. Be it Indian or Caucasian, it was another 200 years before women could freely speak their minds, even to the point of interrupting an Indian council meeting! Other than that, I was absolutely convinced that these journals exist in some family's historical archives, especially with the final ending it was given that made it so real.
