Yesterday I received my copy of Bonhist Cheynne Medicine Woman, by Jack Frazier. I logged it in and put it on my bookshelf, knowing that I would read it someday. However, I woke about 12:30 this morning, took “Bonhist” off the shelf and started reading. I is now 8 hours later I finish reading this wonderfully written book. Once I started, I could not put the book down. It was so well written that as I was reading, I was actually watching a movie play out in my mind. Mr. Frazier had his Native American History down pat; he knows what he was talking about. It basically starts with the “Sand Creek Massacre,” through the “Battle of the Little Big Horn,” delves into the trials and tribulations of the First Peoples being free, then being moved onto reservation life, and ends at the end of the 19th century. You will ache as you read what “Bonhist,” and Medicine Woman, relates how she and her family were relentlessly hounded all the way from Colorado to Oklahoma, where they eventually found some relief. Mr. Frazier has proven himself to be a tremendous storyteller, and it is actually his family history. He kept me captivated until I was finished reading the book. I highly recommend this book for those that are truly interested in finding out the truth the First Peoples to this country were actually treated, and the trials and tribulations they went through. Mr. Frazier is 88 years old, and I am glad he wrote a book that is worth reading. I hope he writes more.

I loved this book! It was a different perspective. The read flowed well so I got through it so easily and got lost in the story. I loved the representation and I absolutely loved Bonhist. There were so many bits of information weaved into a narrative tale and I just really enjoyed it.
