The BEST Work on Native Americans - By: , 05 Jul 1998
An unbiased, original, creative, compelling mastperpiece, Moon of Popping Trees is a brilliant & "professionallly detached" work regarding Native American/European American relations prior to & including the Wounded Knee "incident." Of course, by "professionallly detached" I mean amazingly separated from this often times over-emotionallly approached subject in American History.

Yet, what is most compelling about this absolute masterpiece, is that despite Smith's own emotional detachment, he by no means fails to draw in the emotion of the reader--a danger which "scholarly reflections" often succomb to. Smith's work is perennial, cautious, & yet fascinatingly marvelous in its ability to "suck in" the reader. A subject I often pay little attention to & have little care for...Moon of Popping trees gave me a desire to study this area of history in greater detail.
