Summary: Unforgetable
Comment: I can't believe a book as great as this one can be out of print. I am not a big fan of westerns and before I read this book and its predecessor, The Season of Yellow Leaf, I did not have much of an interest in Native Americans. These two books absolutely captivated me, however. I am no expert, but both of these books seem very authentic and believable. The culture of the Commanches is fascinating, and the characters are complex and easy to relate to. This is not a book without flaws. For example, Jones is not always 100% consistent in his views of the Commanches and the white settlers. This is a very ambitious work, however, and its small flaws are easily forgivable. This book comes very close to being a masterpiece of American Literature and it will change the way you think about Native Americans forever.

Summary: The world of the Comanchees and the white man in the 1800s
Comment: This marvelous story focuses on Liverpool Morgan, a simple but very literate former Confederate army man who, after the Civil War, works for the Indian Agency and the army in Oklahoma Territory. His friendship with the Commanche tribe and its intelligent, perceptive chief, who are struggling to adapt to the world of the white man and the disappearance of their world in just a few decades, is wonderfully told. It's really a classic and must be based on true stories of this frontier.
