Cool! I'll have to check him out!

Lingo can be tough to follow at times for lay people, but an exciting read on the history of open source.

Well done presenting the history of this storyline and portraying the conflicting ideologies minorities face in light of history, present, and future. Hard not to leave this movie without thinking about modern social issues, yet these were not “in your face” throughout the movie - ie not forced. The powerful female characters were breathtaking and refreshing!!!

I loved this book so much as a kid. I reread it so much that the cover nearly fell off. I was a pretty solitary child, so I related to the main character completely. I loved the history as well, this book is one of the many reasons I got a BA in history.
  
An amazing insight into the long history of the 'first Americans'. A great balance between detailed recounts of events, yet a broad enough stroke through the history to explain the major parts of the history for the last 20,000 years.

A wonderful book, concise yet still detailed, full of emotion and accuracy in the telling of the the tragic events, but not being too romantic over the good times either.

A must read for anyone interested in developing their knowledge of this remarkable group of people, true survivors and determined to control their own destiny.

Recommend for everyone
This book is really for everyone it recounts history in a interesting way which is enjoyable to read. The book really makes you see how history can be recounted from something as simple as a letter. This book to me was the perfect way to get me excited to start university.

I recommend this book for anyone looking to get into history or just for someone looking for a good read. This book can also be useful to students struggling to Write about primary sources.

Again another true story of little known history brought to life. Tom Cruise did the character justice and portrayed him right.
