So far part four isn't as good as the other parts but it still has it's role in this book. From the few short stories I got through it talks about how certain things are good then there are the bad things that can happen as well. The story that seemed the most interesting so far was the "Medicine" one, so far. I liked it because it talked about all the things they used to cure the things that were wrong with them.

I will have to say part three to me has the more interesting stories in it. I personally liked The Legend of Bull Lake because it's interesting how they came up with this story and it tells why the lake roar's. I will say part one and part three are my favorite so far and I'm anxious to see what part four is going to be like.

The think in this part that was most interesting to me was the Industrialization and the Deindutrializatin. I liked these two because it talks about building industries and how managers wouldn't pass up making money over making something useful.

I find this book interesting so far because of the people it has talked about so far. For example I'm finding out other things about Henry Ford and John Rockefeller that I didn't learn about in high school. I also find it kind of funny that Rockefeller bought 33,000 acres of land and it also makes me wonder the money difference between then and now.

I enjoyed this second half of the book. I enjoyed it because all the stories talk about how people looked at Indians. For example in one of the stories a guy says he was going to kill the first Indian he seen and as a result of the killing he was skinned. I also got out of this section is that it was extremely brutal but still interesting on how things were done.

I enjoy how the first story was told, how they more less did a circle in Wyoming to end up in Elk Mountain. I also liked how it is set up, none of the stories are to long or to short. You get into the stories but they don't drag on to long. I'm enjoying this book so far!

In all i thought this book was well written and it explained a lot on oral history projects. I liked how it was laid out on how it told you all the good and bad in doing these projects. I also liked how it gave you ideas on how if you needed to get funds they told you good ways to do it. All in all it was an outstanding book!

From the pages I got through, interviews are a crucial for the project or any type of History work. In some cases you may get a outstanding interviews or some bad one's. It says that you won't always get the perfect interview because peoples options will always be different. It says that in some cases that if you have a personal connection to the interview person you can get a different type of result. Good book.

From what I read, I got that if you are in a group you need to balance out all the work to each individual so no one is over working. I also got that the public plays a major role in some oral projects, for instance financial aid the community can help. You also have to pick a topic that is interesting and also uneatable, you don't want something that you know you cant do in a decent time.
