An experience of native American emotions.By Mr S.CampbellTo study the history of the demise of the native Americans at the hands of the white settlers; is to hurt; to hate; to mourn and to wonder. This book; if nothing else; brings those feelings into sharper focus; makes them raw and gives us an insight into the sheer desolation and sense of hopelessness experienced by those Indian victims of so long ago. Though slightly repetitive in it's format and content; it still managed to hold my attention by the solemnity and the wisdom of those true heroes of the wild west. My advice would be; to read such books as; "Bury my heart at wounded knee" by Dee Brown; to gain a reasonably comprehensive knowledge of the process of America's "ethnic cleansing" policy; prior to reading this book. Following this; you'll be suitably depressed enough to tackle this necessary literary insight into the native American psyche.
