Truth

I had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Monroe for a long time. He was my sister-in-law's father. The story he tells is one of heartbreak and joy. There were places in the book where I cried for him and his family. This story is just a glimpse of what one man had to do to survive. This book is the epitome of what Mark Monroe was. He passed away in December 2004. When I go back to my hometown, it's hard to think of him not being there anymore. He had incredible strength and wit. We miss him.

Mark Monroe's real experiences.

Mr. Monroe does an excellent job of explaining how the Native Americans live in Nebraska. His examples are true to life, and are believable. I was also suprised that I know some of the people that Mr. Monroe wrote about, and the troubles that they have had in Alliance, Nebraska, because they were Lakota.
