Hardcover
(Clarion Books Sept. 20, 1999)
, First Edition edition
Filled with moving personal stories and archival photographs, a fascinating book documents the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania, the first institution opened by the federal government to teach Native American children the "white man's way," which led some students such as Olympian Jim Thorpe to success, but for many others it was an education in isolation and estrangement.
