5.0 out of 5 stars A True American Story, June 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Moccasin Speaks: Living as Captives of the Dog Soldier Warriors, Red River War, 1874-1875 (Hardcover)

Being a direct descendent of Julia German & having known her as a child I have lived with this story my entire life. Arlene's book however makes this true American tale of courage and survival come alive even for those of us who thought we understood it. Highly suggested reading for historians who want to realize the truth as it was on both sides of the Anglo-Indian issues of that time and/or as an inspirational experience for readers of all ages. There's history here for the reader to experience on every page. Thank you Arlene for bringing the definitive non-ficitional illustration of these events to the general public.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought it for my mother in law., July 8, 2009

This review is from: The Moccasin Speaks: Living as Captives of the Dog Soldier Warriors, Red River War, 1874-1875 (Hardcover)

My mother in law is somehow linked to the German Family, through her mother's side. They are descendants of an aunt or uncle of the kidnapped girls. The story has been passed down through the generations, and my mother in law first read the book "Girl Captives of the Cheyenne," when she was a little girl. She's been obsessed with the story ever since, and will read the book over and over again. She did not know that this book existed, and so we bought it for her, and surprised her with it. She really liked this book, and she said that it gave some closure to the story. It answered some questions that she had had from reading the other book.

I haven't read the book, but I know I ought to read this one and the other one so that I can pass this story down to my daughter. I gave the book 5 stars b/c of the great response that I got from my mother in law. I realize that she may be biased since she feels so close to this story.
