This was very readable, interesting, and compelling, especially for a one-volume history of something that really can't be contained in anywhere near one volume. I'm knocking off a star because I am always a bit wary of popular histories that don't have endnotes with their sources (which maybe isn't fair of me, but I can't help it) and I noticed a few things in this that weren't quite accurate (from the fact that Sherman Alexie is not Flathead/Salish to the reductive view of the Ghost Dance). I still recommend it though!
