3.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but, not what you would expect, July 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Apache Medicine-Men (Dover Books on the American Indians) (Paperback)

Although a very good and enlightening book, potential readers should be advised that the book is not what they would expect. The book flares off quite often to speak of other tribes, peoples, or nations, rather than discussing strickly of the Apache Medicine-men. If your intention is to study only the Apache Medicine-men, this book may seem to drag. However, if you do not mind learning of many cultures and customs, you will assuridly enjoy this publication.

This review is from: Apache Medicine-Men (Dover Books on the American Indians) (Paperback)

Written during the time when most whites were afraid of any familiarity with the Apaches, this book brings detailed accounts of how the religion worked with the Apaches' daily lives ... from a white point of view. Very interesting for those who like detail.
