Thanks for the book review….I love Indian history and will load it on my Nook today.
Hope you enjoy it. Very interesting.
Wow – I was thinking of you, and Quanah Parker last week – what a strange coincidence. My grandmother was burried on August 27 at Fort Parker Memorial Cemetary. It is a beautiful and peaceful place with such a rich history. I am sure you know the story. I grew up visiting the site and the restored Fort. When we were there, I thought of you. I’m going to read this book – thank you.
Yes, I know the story, but have never been there. It is a very sad story from both sides.
I’m going to have ask my cowboy, who is Sioux if the Comanches could have beat them. Because in the plains, the Sioux Indians pretty much ruled. I started, “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” a year ago and still haven’t finished it. It is sad, and brutal and makes my heart ache for what the settlers did to the Indians. They treated them as non-humans, and it was all kinds of wrong. I struggle with how “Christians” that settled the country, could consider any person to be sub-human and treat them as such with any sort of conscience. And there are still white people upset with what the Indians have been given now. My brain can’t comprehend it.
You and I will have to talk because we obviously feel the same way.
