Subject: One Thousand White Women-The Journals of Mary Dodd by Jim Fergus

Loved, loved, LOVED this book!

In 1874 a Cheyenne Indian chief meets with President Grant asking to trade 1000 white women for horses, as a way for the tribe to assimilate into the white mans world.

The chief did indeed ask, but the President said "no."

This book is about... if the President said "yes." And follows the women when they join the tribe.

Mary Dodd is such a wonderful character, a bit ahead of her time, funny, and her journal entries basically tell the story. The book has the flavore of "These is my Words", if you have read that.
