INDIAN WOMEN

Thirteen Who Played a Part in the History of America from Earliest Days to Now

By Lela and Rufus Waltrip

Publisher: David McKay Company, Inc. New York, 1964

First Edition, Hardback with slip cover, 169 pages

 

The thirteen Indian women presented to readers in this collection of biographical sketches have all played important roles in American history.  Some have ruled their tribes, some have produced great art and literature, and all have been dedicated to peace and human rights for all people.

 

In their dedication, each one faced and overcame hardships with courage and plain hard work.  At times, all of them stumbled or seemed lost but in them was a determination and power which will keep them in the history of the American way of life.
