more about Oklahoma than about the Osage
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I read "Misty Hills of Home" based on the fact that I really enjoyed two of Medawar's other books ("People of the Whistling Waters" and "Death at Rainey Mountain" are about 19th century Crow and Kiowa tribes) but unfortunately, the details that made the other two books so interesting are absent from "Misty Hills of Home." Which is not to say that "Misty Hills" isn't worth reading. It's an entertaining book that covers the lives and loves of an Osage family living on tribal lands in Oklahoma from the beginning of the Great Depression until the end of World War II. The problem I had with the book is that for all the reference that's made to Native American culture and history, Medwar could just as easily have been writing about my own Irish-American family, residents of Oklahoma since the 1870's. Still, it's worth reading, particularily if you are a fan of the author.
