Publisher's Note
Sarah Winnemucca, daughter of a Paiute chief, presents in her autobiography a Native American viewpoint on the impact of whites settling in the West.

Industry Reviews
"This autobiography, first published in 1883, is an eye-opening look at history by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins. In the style of a Native American storyteller, she tells of her tribe's first fearful contacts with the strange, white travelers....Sarah went on to become a translator for both the military and Indian agents. She graphically describes the shocking treatment by some of the whites, but balances it with descriptions of fair treatment by many of the others....If you are interested in accurate history, Native American studies or the role of women in a developing country, add this book to your library."
Small Press - Carolyn Beeman
