I enjoy how the first story was told, how they more less did a circle in Wyoming to end up in Elk Mountain. I also liked how it is set up, none of the stories are to long or to short. You get into the stories but they don't drag on to long. I'm enjoying this book so far!

So far part four isn't as good as the other parts but it still has it's role in this book. From the few short stories I got through it talks about how certain things are good then there are the bad things that can happen as well. The story that seemed the most interesting so far was the "Medicine" one, so far. I liked it because it talked about all the things they used to cure the things that were wrong with them.

I will have to say part three to me has the more interesting stories in it. I personally liked The Legend of Bull Lake because it's interesting how they came up with this story and it tells why the lake roar's. I will say part one and part three are my favorite so far and I'm anxious to see what part four is going to be like.

I enjoyed this second half of the book. I enjoyed it because all the stories talk about how people looked at Indians. For example in one of the stories a guy says he was going to kill the first Indian he seen and as a result of the killing he was skinned. I also got out of this section is that it was extremely brutal but still interesting on how things were done.

This book is quite enjoyable, I agree. I admire the honesty of the stories as well as the descriptions.The people telling the stories simply described what their life was like including their likes, dislikes, opinions, stereotypes, and routines. To them it might all seem normal or mundane, but to us now, their stories give us a glimpse of what it would be like to live back then. It's an interesting perspective into that time period's history.
