Here's what Nevins said: "Its essay portraits of Indian chieftains are graphically written, and carry an undertone of poignant interst. Without loss of objectivity, Mr. Josephy brings out the truth about such events as our cruel butchery of Black Hawk's Saul and Fox people, and he shows the true nobility of other Indian leaders. His study of Chief Joseph is especially well done."
SUPERIOR CONDITION! Some clean tears and nicks to the dj's extremities.
