Book Review of One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd

One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd
Helpful Score: 1


I absolutely loved this book. Devoured it in one sitting. Even though it is not a true story, it certainly could have been. I will look for more of Jim Fergus' works as he is a fabulous writer and can certainly keep the pages turning. He brought each character to life so that you could actually picture them as you read. I felt the cold snow and the spring air. Having read much of Native American history and the failed treaties of the times this is just one more through provoking work that most certainly could have taken place in the American West. Sent it on to my son in the military who is a history buff and always looking for good books to read. I give it five stars.
