The truth is I couldn't finish reading it..
.I got to the events at "Sand Creek" and couldn't take any more..
I should add this, I am embarrassed too....but it was 25 years ago....

I assigned this to students to read, (in a high school) and put together a list ot 50 questions on the first 300 pages..up to Sand Creek, then
I faild to list more questions from the last part of the book..Oh well, at least I assigned the book..
