Road On Which We Came

Steven J. Crum is professor of Native American Studies at the University of California, Davis.

"The definitive history of the tribe."--Books of the Southwest "A definitive history of a people who have never before had an all-inclusive account. Kudos for Crum."--Utah Historical Quarterly "A thorough and insightful history of the Newe. Crum's far-reaching research, especially in twentieth-century documents, reveals rich details about Shoshone experience."--Western Historical Quarterly "Intriguing. Sets a new academic standard in Shoshone historical literature. It is well-researched and the incorporation of non-traditional sources such as songs and oral tradition significantly add to its value. Unlike so many accounts of Native-American life, the voice of the Western Shoshone comes through clearly in this book."--Nevada Historical Society Quarterly "More than a conventional 'Indian policy' study."--CHOICE "Refreshing and significant. The research undertaken for the book is deep, comprehensive, and thoroughly documented. The text is well organized and has exceptional clarity. This book is a fine contribution to the now extensive literature on Native Americans, especially with an author who understands the nuances and unique circumstances involved in the history of the Western Shoshone."--Idaho Yesterdays "The first comprehensive history of the Western Shoshone. Historians of the 20th century American West or anyone interested in tribal histories should be satisfied with this solid history."--Journal of the West "This book improves on the genre."--American Historical Review
