There are unforgettable insights into the minds of the Whites in their encounters with the Redman. One receives an impression of extraordinary vitality, of a people who have an inner strength which we have wasted against our better interests, but which still persists against all odds and is beginning, perhaps, to be understood and so used as a part of our American heritage.” Book: Very Good.
