Reviews

Adam Fortunate Eagle has mastered the art of spinning a yarn. With his keen sense of humor, this extradordinary Ojibwe recounts numerous life experiences over an 84-year period and along the way educates his readers about Native American life on and off the reservation in today's modern world."" - Laurence M. Hauptman Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, State University of New York, New Paltz
