Summary: good read
Review: I read this book when I was writting a graduate Thesis for baseball history. Good read to get information. Understand that he wanted a unique way to set up book. Maybe only drawback if reading for information. Is good that it includes oral history of the man, statistical history and analytical history. A good read for entertainment or historical review.

Review: I was very impressed by the author's creative way in which he presented this biography. Fuller exercises his gifted skills as a poet as well as delivers a well researched history of Mose Yellowhorse. It's both entertaining and informative.

Summary: Could not put the book down!
Review: Through Fuller's careful research and beautifully written poetry, we get a unique, intriguing, and entertaining biography on the life of Mose Yellowhorse. As a proud member of the Pawnee Nation, I highly commend Fuller for his dedication to see this work to its completion. For without him, Mose's story would have remained untold and what a shame that would have been for Native American history, Native American sports history, the Pawnee Nation and for Mose Yellowhorse himself....1) This book is about the first full-blood American Indian to play baseball in the major leagues. That he accomplished such a difficult thing in an era when not even African Americans were allowed to play in the majors, is something that all American Indians should be proud of (not just the Pawnee). 2) From this book, Non-Native society learns that Indians DO exist, not just in the historical sense but in contemporary, everyday existence. Non-Native society learns that Indians CAN accomplish great things, such as, playing major league baseball. 3) It could be that Yellowhorse's own words are absent from this book because he passed away nearly 40 years ago and also, it states very clearly in the book that Yellowhorse left no journals or other writings behind. (Possible explanation for that "emptiness," I don't know).
