This is such a good story. It’s hard to believe in the era of cars and airplanes, the Apache were still being hunted and misunderstood/mistreated in the great desert Southwest. I have hiked in the Chirachua mountains and found them to be a truly magical place. ( )

I throughly enjoyed every line every word in this book. A far cry from my usual type of subject matter. Can not remember reading anything remotely similar other than Little Big Man. This book was wonderful and I was braced for it to end badly, it's Indians for petes sake, but I was pleasantly surprised. Loved it. ( )

Ah Another very enjoyable read by Jim Fergus. Not so long ago i read The White Women and thanks to dancing-dog i was able to read this wish list book as well.
I really enjoyed it. Love the way how he manages to make the characters real. They have flaws but are still like-able. Hope he will write more soon. ( )

La nina bronca - the wild girl was an unusual read for me. The novel took me back to 1932 with a 17 year old orphan who wanted to become a photo journalist. Ned joins a posse from Arizona of "rich kids" out for an adventure to save a young child that had bee kidnapped by the Apache in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico. Never a dull moment..He grows up....entertaining. ( )

"I love three things. I love a dream of love I once had, I love you, and I love this patch of earth." "And which do you love best?" "The dream." -Knut Hamsun, Pan

"If the ways of seeing in different communities are in conflict because their interpretative practives reflect incommensurable presuppositions about the human situation, can such communities understand each other? Can one culture use its own terms to say something about another culture without engaging in a hostile act of appropriation or without simply reflecting itself and not engaging the otherness of the Other?...can we ever escape our provincial islands and navigate between worlds? -Paul B Armstrong, "Play and Cultural Differences," Kenyon Review 13 (Winter 1991)
