Review
"Hear Me, My Chiefs! will appeal to scholars of western history as well as general collectors of Americana. It is well illustrated with photographs and maps, is thoroughly documented, and contains a very useful bibliography. Credit the Caxton Printers with another fine addition to their growing list of works on western development."—Robert G. Athearn, U of Colorado, Montana magazine Robert G. Athearn
