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.

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 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.

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!

Melia Dayley Part three is definitely my favorite as well. Although the stories were written down by white men and not the Indians themselves, the stories still give amazing insight into the culture and identity of Indians in Wyoming.


JonathanBorchardt Thinking my favorite was the section in part two that focused on stories about the hunting of supposed monsters. The one that spoke about the man putting a bounty of sorts on a big river fish monster, only to go after it for himself. Best part, the beast was apparently as large as a steamboat, but exploded into assorted pieces of trash and carcasses. Gave me quite a chuckle.
