Other Authors?

[James Robertson]

Gaddis. Gass. Also have a look at Thomas Berger. Little Big Man is an excellent novel. Shares P's sense if the historic; both playful and precise. I have read a lot of books about the Sioux and Cheyennes since reading Berger, and often surprised how accurate his portrayal of both the characters and the events.
