I am a Cree pipe carrier who has chosen to do a doctorate degree. I would like to weave my cultural path in with the demands of scholarly writings. I would like to write to the author about my dissertation and the truth of the Christian-Cree Path. Could you please forward my request to the author. My name is Grizzly Who Packs Good Medicine and I would be honoured to speak with the author.

Route finding in the Tetons can be difficult. Richards topo + text book of the classic climbs is a great, concise and compact guide that will get you there and on route, and back down. Has most of the routes most technical climbers will do. Past that - you're copying topos out of the brag book so....

Teton Skiing is a phenomenal book written eloquently and comically from the perspective of a mountaineer (Tom Turiano) who has climbed and skiied nearly every peak in the range. The book is perfect for someone thinking about a trip to the Tetons in order to gain more insight into the history that made it the touring site it is today, as well as, a guide to help in planning your trip. It is also a great book for anyone interested in history and/or the outdoors in general. Although it is partly a guidebook, it was more intersting to me for its well researched and colorful history of this mythical wonder called the Tetons. If you haven't been to Wyoming's Tetons, this book will make you want to go. If you have been, it will drive you to return and discover things unseen. A book I treasure!

A beautiful minds, loving words, about family, about a people, about a way of life. This story combined with the beauty in word of " Bead on an Anthill " Delphine's first book sets the mind and soul, for a journey into one's self.
In the female voice of the Lakota, live the life set in the beauty that is the Northern Plains, of this Turtle Island.
The writting style is such , to savor each word as if it could fill you with the images it creates.
This is what award winning writing should be about.........

I am of Native American heritage. I am Chippewa by blood but Lakota by adoption and was born in Pine Ridge, SD. This book is very important to be because it helps explain practices that have either drifted away over time or have disappeared in modern times. I now have a bearing on what was probably the original archaic religion. The photos and illustrations make it very clear and correspond well with the intricate discriptions. The first few pages seem to be for English Professors and served no real purpose to me. After that, the book takes off and moves quickly and concisely. People with no prior knowledge should have no trouble understanding the jist of each chapter. Too many books are being written about the new "plastic shamanism" and not enough about the old days. This book is about the old days. It's an important work and I recommend it to anyone who wants to know what Lakota ceremonies looked like and what purposes they served. I now have a clue about my own heritage.

This is a GREAT guide to the Grand Tetons-some of the most beautiful country in the world. This book is a great pack-size companion with fabulous pictures! It is a definite for the hiker and the reader alike. Maynard includes history of the area with his trail descriptives.

I found this book to be highly informative with exactly the type of information I needed for planning skiing and snowshoeing forays into Idaho's snow country - but more than that, it is highly readable with outstanding anecdotes and historical facts liberally spread throughout. A must-have for anyone interested in winter outdoors
