Title: Saddened
Review: I thought this book was extremely demeaning to both African Americans and Native Americans. I do not think that it accurately captured the attitudes of the black soldiers who were confronting all levels of racism from their white superiors. Nor did the black protagonist ever stand up to or confront a white over the issue of racism. He was happy in his subservient role. He wasn't offended when whites called him nigger. The Native Americans were basically portrayed as savages who without provocation attacked innocent whites. There was never any mention of their inherent rights as the first settlers of America, nor any significant recognition of the injustices they suffered as a people.This portrayal of life on the frontier is basically a myth which should have died before it was spawned.
