Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Teepee Neighbors The Objection has often been made to these sketches that they are too sad. "People won´t read such painful stuff," editors have said to me. Then I slowly look over and consider my pages. Am I justified in changing this, or that? There is only one response possible for me to make. "I´m sorry, but they´re all true. I cannot alter them." And I gather up my manuscript with a sigh because I know so intimately and so well from my own personal experience as a near neighbor to the Indians that these glimpses of them are indeed ac curate. Every incident, I think, and almost every character, I have drawn from my life and experience of nearly ten years spent with the Indians of Wyoming. Not everything, of course, happened just as it is set down, incidents and events have been combined, the sex and names of characters have been altered, but the whole has its basis in gloomy, even desperate fact; for I have seen and heard and handled, and my memory is stored with much harrowing evidence.
