Memoirs of a White Crow Indian

Having just finished this book, I wanted to write my review while it is still fresh in my mind. Marquis gives voice to Leforge's exciting life story and it is sometimes hard to tell where Leforge ends and Marquis begins. But this doesn't detract from the book in the least. Leforge's feelings and thoughts come through, even though they might sometimes be couched in Marquis' literary vernacular. I don't want to cite specifics about this book because the reader should savor his/her first reading without any parts being spoiled. Hugh L. Scott's letters to Leforge in the closing pages add a nice touch and demonstrate just how the old-timers felt about the "good old days." At the bottom of page 350 H. L. Scott writes of a very curious detail not mentioned anywhere in the book regarding the main character. You'll have to read it for yourself. As for what you will find in this book...an authentic retelling of what it must have been like to be alive in the 1860-1870s, and the years following, not to mention all the interesting characters you will meet along the way. If you love this time in history, or just want to read a very memorable book, then you can't go wrong with this purchase.
