In The News

“Duane Schultz's capably research and tautly written Over the Earth I Come reminds us that responsibility for the abomidable events that occurred during the Indian wars cut across ethnic boundaries. If it is less than an inspiring story, it is certainly necessary to any balanced understanding of our nation's expansion.” —The New York Times Book Review

“An eventhanded distribution of the blame and a fine description of the events in this little-remembered bit of our history.” —The Washington Times

“Skillfully interwoven from personal local histories and contemporary accounts--an intimate view of a desperation and bloodshed on the Great Plains that's a poignant as it is tragic.” —Kirkus Reviews

“The result is history that reads like a novel.” —The Denver Post
