"This book presents a new outlook on Indian culture which is even more interesting because it develops into a moving and necessary biography of a little publicized nation."-Real West "A study which is an important step in the documentation of the history of Western tribes. It is the result of research of many years, and it should endure as one of the standard works on this subject."-Montana Magazine "Carefully conceived and extensively documented, this volume should long standard as the standard work on this subject."-American West "An excellent treatment of the great Shoshoni people, and it is not likely to be superseded."-Journal of the American West Volume 74 in The Civilization of the American Indian Series
