A record of the author's teaching experiences among the Walapai and Havasupai Indians

Aus dem Klappentext: "Flora Gregg left her Oklahoma home in 1900, answering a call for teachers on an Indian reservation in northern Arizona. . . . Her book . . . is a simple but strangely moving document. She is good at description and a keen observer of people and customs." --Journal of Arizona History
"Gives a vivid picture, not only of tribal peoples in transition, but of the motives and methods of a dedicated, compassionate teacher in an era of forced Indian assimilation." --Books of the Southwest
"Delightful reading about an exotic life in a stupendous natural setting." --New York Times
