Reviews
"Anderson, reflecting the fruits of his longtime residence and advocacy in a contemporary Native community, presents a model of ethnohistory and analysis that gives a fascinating account of a man who witnessed and adapted to major cultural changes. . . . This is a worthy book."-Choice
"Sage's experiences were significant not only because of his longevity, but also because of his willingness to share his knowledge and history with anthropologists and others. . . . Anderson has performed admirable work in piecing together existing narratives and his own research to produce a worthwhile study."-Mary Ellen Tunks, Montana the Magazine of Western History
"Anderson has produced an analytical biography that acquaints readers with some of the best insight Arapaho culture has to offer."-Billy Hathorn, South Dakota History
"A most welcome contribution to the study of American Indian history and ethnology."-Henry E. Stamm IV, Western Historical Quarterly
