Reviews
On Mar 30 2005, Ash Grove Heirloom Books said:
Set in Oklahoma in the 1920's, this novel tells of the discovery of oil on Cherokee land and the ensuing fraud, intimidation and violence perpetrated against them in the name of wealth. If you have been looking for something that has a Milagro Beanfield War feel to it this is the closest I've come.
On Dec 7 2004, Pazzo Books said:
Fiction, but a fascinating account of the trials of the Osage when oil was found underneath their reservation in Oklahoma. One of the finest historical novels ever written by a seminal voice in Native American fiction. Linda Hogan's The Book Of Medicines is also not to be missed.
