Customer Reviews

SUPERIOR! Excellent details, extensive footnotes, but only up to 1861.

Absolutely first class! A superb study with everything one would expect from a professional historian: Facts and more facts and more details and then some analysis. The perfect prequel to NAVAJO ROUNDUP, by Lawrence C. Kelly, wherein one learns the truth of the Kit Carson campaign into Navajo land in 1862 and 1863. This book should be required reading for ALL Navajo people. Far too many modern writers and pseudo-historians begin with the Navajo Long Walk; McNitt's book starts where one should, at the beginnig, back in 1625, not 1863.
