This was a very difficult book to read. One does not just cruise through it. That said, it was an insight into the growing up of a Navajo boy in the late 19th century, which is why I obtained the book. BTW, it came from Goodwill of Indianapolis and the cost was only $0.01...$3 for shipping.
Read this in conjunction with Desert Wife, wrtten at about the same time, for views of the Navajo culture from the other side, so to speak. Fascinating!
