A fascinating account of the lives of American Indians & the transition from being wild & free to roam the land to the eventual flood of white settlers that changed the way the Indians lived-forever.

Great book!!!

One of my most recent reads and it was riveting from start to finish.

This book is a) full of historic inaccuracies, b) is written as if in a vacuum perpetuating the idea of lack of Indian civilization focusing on the atrofies committed *even as* those same atrocities were being committed by white slave owners on blacks in the south c) this book discusses torture as something modern boys find interestingness but grow out of. If you need to revisit a 1950s version of the story of the American West where the whites are coming in to civilize the primitive backward natives this book is for you. If you are interested in understanding more about the rich history with a more nuanced and less white centric view I’d give this a skip. I wish I could get a refund on purchasing this book.

Wonderful book , incredibly glad I read it.

Incredibly detailed and compelling account. Well written and informative.

Gwynne captured so much in this book and I wish it was part of any school curriculum. His writing is impeccable with unbiased truth that allows you to understand how hard all of our ancestors had to work so that we could have it so easy. The appreciation I gained for Native American culture along with American culture through his words has put me on a never ending journey to learn all I can about the United States and how lucky I am to be here.

I highly recommend this.

Love every minute of this.

Wow! What a difference in lifestyles and in simple cultural way of life and upbringing. Hunter and gatherer Nomads vs Farmers. Pretty obvious to see the upcoming clash simply due to growth of Americas due to its manifest destiny. Expansion westward….. I’ve learned more from books, audiobooks and Podcasts than I ever did in public school. Amazing read.
