Reviews

"[Sister to the Sioux] is of value to historians and anthropologists for a wealth of information useful in shading in the era of Lakota reservation life during the 1880s."--Western Historical Quarterly "We must be impressed by this talented woman who gave herself so completely to the people she chose to serve. Her story is fascinating, a real contribution to the history of the period."--American Indian Quarterly
