"I do not apologize for the length of this letter" : the Mari Sandoz letters on Native American rights, 1940-1965

Writer Mari Sandoz wrote extensively about the history and plight of Native Americans.  Although she was not connected by birth to any indigenous peoples, Sandoz vigorously took up their cause. Editor Kimberli A. Lee has organized a collection of letters which substantiates Sandoz " . . . as one of the most significant non-Native chroniclers and advocates for Plains Indian cultures. There is much here for historians and other scholars of American Indian, Great Plains, rhetorical, and women’s studies."
