Review
History and poetry blend together in these pages. I can think of no collection of essays that I've enjoyed more in recent years. This is a book that all who love the West, who are concerned about the natural world, who believe in truth and the sacredness of all life need to read. It will move them and it will give them courage. -- Joseph Bruchac

This review is from: On Behalf of the Wolf and the First Peoples (Paperback)
Joseph Marshall has a unique way of writing. He writes about many things that Native people don't talk about. Joseph has a way of writting that flows and is very natural. I highly recommend this book to those who are intrested in Lakota culture from someone who recieved these stories first hand.
