The first half of the book, which is Blackhawk's story of his life from his point of view was quite good. The second half, which details many of the multiple battles between Blackhawk's tribe and fellow tribes against the American military is a bit difficult to follow, and not very clear if this is also from Blackhawk's point of view, or the writer's.
