R. Garcia y Robertson applies his considerable talents in historical research and writerly depiction to an epic of American history, the legendary Battle of the Little Big Horn and Custer's last stand—and turns the legends upside down. First, he tells the tale entirely from the Indian side, and secondly, he tells it through the eyes of a blonde white woman from Pennsylvania married to an Indian American Woman. With extraordinary wit and imagination, this book is a literary grenade of the quality of Thomas Berger's Little Big Man . American Woman is a fine, uproarious, and moving novel.
