Halloween hijinks and catching rides on the train going thru town (planning to get off at the next stop)getting thru the snafus of army life and finally reaching one's ambition-Agricultural School librarian at the University of Illinois. Then he began to gather together the materials for his famous book Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. This is a wonderful first person true-to-life story of growing up in the early part of the last century-not so long ago, actually. This a short,varied,to-the-point narrative that I recommend to most anyone.I found a paperback in my collection that I had never read until now and liked it so well that I just bought a nice hardback copy.
