I really enjoyed this book although it was disturbing. May was sent to live with the Cheyenne indians along with other wives for the tribes braves to teach them the "civilized" white man ways. In the long run, the Indians were much more civilized. This book chronicles the horrendous things that were done to a peaceful and noble people in the name of progress. A wonderful read, I could not put it down! It is somewhat graphic at times but probably close to fact.
