Reviews
A work to be read for sheer pleasure, for the sake of a fascinating true story delightfully told.-- "New York Times Book Review"
One more of those pieces of research and detection which set him [Wilson] apart from all other American critics. He has his feet well-planted in American life.-- "V.S. Pritchett"
Provocatively suggests that the great American ideal of liberty, fathered by western Christian culture, for- got itself when it came to grips with the Indian and his differentness. It hasn't remembered itself yet.-- "Christian Science Monitor"
This is one book every American concerned with every aspect of personal identity should not miss.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
