a short post - in two days we will celebrate the Thanksgiving Day, with foods and merriment and some.
long winter months are ahead of us, so from time to time I would like to propose some reading for this dark period (in the Northern Hemisphere at least) .
I was looking thorough my books and one of them by prof. Peter Nabokov , with the foreword by John C. Ewers, popped out.
Namely, Two Leggings, The Making of a Crow Warrior. Great. great book about the bygone era of the American history as told by the participants - the Crow warriors.
This printed book is actually the edited version of William Wildschut's manuscript, compiled in Montana from meetings and talks & customary smokes with Two Leggings, his interpreters, and his fellow warrior friends between 1919-1923
You can borrow it from Archive World Library - I wonder if there is an audio book of this great historical work.
