A bit dry in the writing, but gripping in the tale of an American Indian man who survives the invasion of the white settler,but loses his family and tribe. He comes to the world of the white man and tries to find a place there.

I loved this book. It is one of my top three favorite books. These are Horse Heaven by Jane Smiley, The Instance of the Fingerpost by Ian Pears and this one.

All are epics with many great characters. I did not want them to end.
