BOOK DESCRIPTION:

"An American western with a most unusual twist, this is an imaginative fictional account of the participation of May Dodd and others in the controversial "Bridges for Indians" program, a clandestine US government-sponsored program intended to instruct "savages" in the ways of civilization and to assimilate the Indians into white culture through the offspring of these unions. May's personal journals, loaded with humor and intelligent reflection, describe the adventure of some very colorful white brides (including one black one), their marriages to Cheyenne warriors, and the natural abundance of life on the prairie before the final press of the white man's civililation." (Description from amazon.com)

Read the book last year and loved it--great story, memorable characters, wonderful premise based on historical fact. The copy I read belonged to my local library, and I obtained this one through Bookmooch.com to have in my library to share with friends and out-of-town guests.
