December 1, 1991
"The reminiscences of a Yaqui Indian born in 1896 in northwestern Mexico whose story begins during the Yaqui revolutionary period, continues through the last uprising in 1926, and ends with [his] recollections of his life on a Texas farm from 1952 to 1969. The introduction by Professor Kelley adds scholarly analysis to the poignant autobiographical narrative."-Booklist

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, great price, November 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Yaqui Life: The Personal Chronicle of a Yaqui Indian (Paperback)
I gave 4/5 stars only because the book had underlines and highlighting and the book was marked "clean" -- but hey it's a used copy and that happens sometimes. Seller is fantastic, ships fast, will definitely do again.
