Book Reviews of One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd
Book Review: An informative and entertaining read
Summary: 5 Stars
There are no good guys or bad guys in Jim Fergus' Old West. There is plenty of glory and blame for everybody involved in the highly-not-so-secret shipment of white women (and one "black white woman") to the Cheyenne for the purpose of breeding children to assimilate the Cheyenne into the white culture. Meticulous research reveals details of Indian life not commonly remembered today, more than a century after the setting of this story. Gone from the novel is the romantic notion of the Noble Savage, as is the notion that "the only good Indian is a dead Indian." Gone, also, is the cavalry riding to the rescue. ONE THOUSAND WHITE WOMEN is not a Saturday afternoon matinee...but is an informative and entertaining read.
