A Touching and Moving Account
I was engrossed with Pretty Shields story from the moment it began. It was wonderful to read of a native woman's life, before "the buffalo went away". Life then was simpler and so full of joy, as well as so many hardships, but the spirit that is brought across is inspiring and uplifting. A wonderful and engrossing read from beginning to end. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone ...

Junior Literary Guild, 1932

Ancient stories of an ancient people.
Linderman has a wonderful narrative voice in his stories, retaining the flavor and style of the tales as they were told to him by the likes of Walks-with-the-wolf, Fine-feather, Bird-in-the-ground and Cold-wind, back in the early days of the 20th century when Linderman (called Sign-talker by his Native American friends) spent much time at their fires. By no means a comprehensive tome of Indian ...

Amazing Native American Lore
Our local newspaper, the Houston Chronicle, published excerpts from this book in both English and Spanish as part of a summer reading program. After reading the excerpt, I had to have the book. Unfortunately, the day it arrived, my friend picked it up and browsed through it, borrowed it and has yet to return it. I WILL track him down and retrieve it.

Old-man made the world but sometimes forgot the names of things. Victim and victimizer, he seemed closer to common experience than the awesome god Manitou. Frank B. Linderman thought Old-man was, under different names, an undergod for all Indian tribes. These ...
