"In this carefully-wrought book, thirty unforgettable Southern Paiute people speak to us. Logan Hebner is our guide, our Studs Terkel—unfailingly generous and warm. Hebner asks: 'Why, in all this time, has nobody simply asked the Southern Paiute for their stories?” Hebner did just that, and in doing so, he was able to record stories that exist nowhere else in print, interviewing elders who remember tales told to them by their grandparents—taking us right back to the 19th century.—Stephen Trimble, author of The People: Indians of the Southwest
