+An interesting story about the United States' westward expansion and its impact on the native tribes. The main plot and its surrounding context were presented well; background details were plentiful but didn't bog things down. I especially appreciated the way that Pearl related the facts impartially rather than taking a one-sided history-by-the-winners approach.
