Hostiles and Friendlies Selected Short Writings of Mari Sandoz

Here in one volume are Mari Sandoz's reminiscences of life in the Sandhills country; a study of the two Sitting Bulls (the Hunkpapa and the Oglala) and other Indian pieces; a novelette,Bone Joe and the Smokin' Woman; and nine short stories, mostly with a rural setting, includingThe Vine," her first to be published. Introduced by an autogiographical sketch of the author's early years and linked by a commentary derived from her letters, articles, and interviews, the separate pieces coalesce into an illuminating picture both of the Niobrara River country and of Mari Sandoz's emergence as a major American writer.Sandoz, Mari is the author of 'Hostiles and Friendlies Selected Short Writings of Mari Sandoz' with ISBN 9780803292086 and ISBN 0803292082.
