Concerning Scordato's book on Sarah W: it's readable but...,
By saraw@reno.quik.com (Reno, Nevada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sarah Winnemucca: Northern Paiute Writer and Diplomat (North American Indians of Achievement) (Turtleback)
I found the book to coinside with most of my research on Sarah. There are some inaccuracies, however. The statements on stage-appearences, and rape, to be general, overall and too sweeping in context. Sarah's death of TB is highly unlikely--food poisoning is more possible. Some of Scordato's terminology in describing Piute things and locations is inaccurate. And--Sarah would never, ever not be interested in the welfare of her people! "A 44 year old Sarah took little interest..." says Scordato. Hah! And--Sarah spoke five languages, not 2 languages and 3 dialects. I have Gae Whitney Canfield's research on that!
