Title: A story of culture conflict, love, and resolution.
Review: Andrew Garcia was blessed with an open mind and a keen memory. He was fortunate to have lived in a time and place on the cusp of cultural interface, european/native american, native tribe to tribe, and spanish/native american. He obeserved it all from within and without and recorded it in a memoir filled with love and humor. The people he met in that time and place speak in their own voices, still strong and true after more than 100 years. Above all else it is a memorial to his Nez Perce wife In-who-lise, a suvivor who saved him more than once. We are priviledged to be taken along the trails of the mountains with them both.
