This retelling of more than seventy-five years of Native American life is both a candid and compelling account of how one woman lived through a period of cultural crisis.\nMountain Wolf Woman tells of her childhood in Wisconsin, her brief stay at a mission school, her marriage to \"Bad Soldier,\" and her religious experiences with peyote. Her struggle to maintain her family against many hardships---odds that would have defeated a less vigorous and self-confident person---underscores her perseverance and tenacity. Whether she is describing her wanderings as a child or her misfortunes later in life, Mountain Wolf Woman sets forth her views in honest and perceptive terms, adding all the more power to her narrative.\nThis book is a valuable companion to the story of Mountain Wolf Woman's brother, immortalized by Paul Radin in Crashing Thunder, a classic of anthropological literature. It will also be of interest to those interested in ethnographic records, the role of women in native cultures, and Midwestern Native Americans, in general.\n\" . . . a superb human document.\"\n---Chicago Sun-Times\n\" . . . one of those rare books . . . .\"\n---Saturday Review\n\". . . a notable contribution to the literature of culture change and culture and personality.\"\n---American Anthropologist\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0472061097\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UTLL0006ZW_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nancy Oestreich Lurie|Ruth Underhill\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
