This was a great book.  Having grown up in Oklahoma, where most of my friends are Native American, or at least have partial Native heritage (myself included), I have heard and read many stories of how the tribes were treated, as well as how they lived.  I didn't get too many of the heroes though.  We've seen movies that villainize some of the chiefs,  I didn't get the full picture from those stories and didn't see that the natives weren't just sitting around thinking about ways to attack white settlements.  They just wanted to live, and they didn't want to be invaded; and they were frequently lied to.I enjoyed reading each story.  In some cases, a deal would be made with one white representative, and it was a genuine deal in good faith, but later, some other politician (or general) would just decide to change the deal for their own benefit.  It was good to read that the villains weren't always villains and the good guys weren't always the good guys.Mostly it was good to read the stories of people that would have otherwise been forgotten.
