Book Review:The American West, 1860-1890 years or broken promises, disillusionment, war and massacres. This epic bestseller tells the North American Indian's side of the story. We see their faces, hear their voices as they strive to prevent the encroachment of miners, ranchers, saloon keepers and soldiers upon their land, their heritage, and, finally, their liberty.
