I do have a copy of Follow the River - haven't read that, either, but I bought it on the recommendation of another friend who reads prairie/Native American lit. And, I bought These Is My Words on your recommendation but still haven't gotten to it. I just saw it when I was hunting for another book, recently. So many books, so little time.

I had never heard of them until I took the class. Have you read The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday? I didn't love it, but it was the main book we read during this unit on the Kiowa.<br /><br />The description of this book by Jiles reminds me a little bit of Follow the River by James Alexander, which I loved. Maybe also a little bit of These Is My Words, but that may just be because I remember (fondly!) the character Captain Jack in These Is My Words. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-22639915698512848522016-12-07T12:06:49.199-06:002016-12-07T12:06:49.199-06:00I loved it, Kelly.
