Customer Reviews

good stories, but a little dated

Originally written in 1904, these tales weave together the lives of the son of homesteaders and a Paiute Indian, the Basket Woman. The stories are straightforward enough, and often incorporate Paiute tales; the author was respectful of Paiute culture and her local environment, so these stories rarely offend our modern sensibilities. Still, these aren't going to grab every kid's attention, and would be best recommended for a quiet, thoughtful reader with an interest in Native American culture at the turn of the century.
