Wow, this book was so interesting and full of detail. It was a fast reader and really put me among the women that experienced these adventures. I'm so glad I read it; ready to read the #2 book, Vengeance of Women
One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd
Published by Victoria , 3 years ago
This is an excellent series!! I have read all three books and loved each one. All three are written in a way that you can visualize everything that is happening. It was very easy to become engrossed in what was happening with the characters, and at the same time wonder -- Could I have survived everything they endured? I highly recommend this series!

Fascinating Historical Fiction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
A wonderful novel of friendship, loyalty, and perserverance, heartache and betrayal. I felt that I not only knew the characters and could easily pick them out of a crowd if given the chance, but loved them, cheered for them, and cried with them as well. Previous reviews have stated that May Dodd did not acurately represent a woman of her time or status and therefore seemed out of place or unrealistic, perhaps they are correct. . . and perhaps that's exactly why she was sent to an insane asylum. I also find it interesting that some find that the novel slants to the side of the Indians and show the soldiers and the US government as the heartless enemy, while others find the Cheyenne as "real savages". What I took from the book was that we are all savages, we simply have different ideas as to what we consider barbaric and what our society accepts as normal. Loved the characters, loved the story, can't wait to read it again.
