One Thousand White Women is the story of May Dodd and a colorful assembly of pioneer women who, under the auspices of the U.S. government, travel to the western prairies in 1875 to intermarry among the Cheyenne Indians. The covert and controversial "Brides for Indians" program, launched by the administration of Ulysses S. Grant, is intended to help assimilate the Indians into the white mans world. Toward that end May and her friends embark upon the adventure of their lifetime. Jim Fergus has so vividly depicted the American West that it is as if these diaries are a capsule in time.

Reviews"A most impressive novel that melds the physical world to the spiritual.One Thousand White Womenis engaging, entertaining, well-written, and well-told. It will be widely read for a long time, as will the rest of Jim Fergus's work." --Rick Bass, author of Where the Sea Used to Be "Jim Fergus knows his country in a way that's evocative Dee Brown and all the other great writers of the American West and its native peoples. ButOne Thousand White Womenis more than a chronicle of the Old West. It's a superb tale of sorrow, suspense, exultation, and triumph that leaves the reader waiting to turn the page and wonderfully wrung out at the end." --Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump "The best writing transports readers to another time and place, so that when they reluctantly close the book, they are astonished to find themselves returned to their everyday lives.One Thousand White Womenis such a book. Jim Fergus so skillfully envelops us in the heart and mind of his main character, May Dodd, that we weep when she mourns, we shake our fist at anyone who tries to sway her course, and our hearts pound when she is in danger." --Colorado Springs Gazette "An impressive historical...terse, convincing, and affecting." --Kirkus Reviews, "A most impressive novel that melds the physical world to the spiritual.

Difficult to put down once you start reading this one
The description was intriguing and made me buy it. I awaited its delivery and started reading it as soon as it arrived. This book of May Dodd's journals is believable, with the ring of authenticity. If it is a work of fiction, it sure sounds like it is based on insider knowledge of what the actual scenario would encompass.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
