In Brave Are My People Waters sets out to write a sequential book of biographies of Native Americans whose lives have enriched the history of America and ends by illuminating the outlines of a forgotten history.... Frank Waters's eloquent book is a much needed distillation of the dramatic essentials of Native American history... destined to become a classic. (Harvard Review) "Veteran author Waters (Book of the Hopi) selects twenty Indian leaders whose lives had a profound effect on settlers and their own people, from colonial times to Wounded Knee.... a valuable introduction to Native American history". (Publishers Weekly) "Waters' new book is beautiful in its simple eloquence and straightforward distillation of the dramatic essentials". (Bloomsbury Review) "Frank Waters is the man the boys study in order to learn how to create literature about the West and its people. For his latest work, Waters looks at an assemblage of great American Indians across the continent. In his lyrical fashion, he tells in Brave Are My People why they will forever be remembered". (Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee) www.alibris.com
