Interesting that we both thought of the magnificent Cherokee actor Wes Studi (this blog 8/31/12) in the lead role, were our books about Henry made into movies.

I always enjoy his books, and admire his storytelling gifts. He is a past president of Western Writers of America, and a distinguished academic. He is also celebrated and honored by his Cherokee people. At one point we shared an agent we both cherished. I am glad you reviewed this fine novel, and interviewed him.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434602314756730550.post-77492208842472596082013-05-20T08:41:06.178-07:002013-05-20T08:41:06.178-07:00Over a long writing career, he has produced a good...Over a long writing career, he has produced a good size bookshelf of his own works.
