I have re-read this book in a relatively new edition. It is a mixture of Kiowa myths‚ family stories‚ history sketches‚ and personal experiences.

It also conveys‚ however dimly to the modern scientific mind‚ a deep sense of a peoples’ experience of the sacred where that term is entirely outside of modern theology and is steeped in the land and the memory of a people. It one opens ones mind and emotions the book can connect in a
