Sagwitch: Shoshone Chieftain, Mormon Elder, 1822-1887

Rating:
Summary: Exceptional book on an exeptional man
Review: Scott Christiansen's book is a superby researched, sensitively written and highly readable account of this exceptional man of the Northwest Shoshone. Until his book little was known of Sagwitch or of this unique band. Readers will find a very balanced account concerning the Bear River Massacre and how it affected the Shoshone survivors, their way of life, and how the local Mormon settlers dealt with the tragedy.
