BROKEN ARROW

by Robert Gessner ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 4, 1933

Too bad Gessner doesn't stay by his first medium, non-fiction. He did a good job in MASSACRE, but this book, based on his thorough knowledge of our present day Indian problem, is hurt by a self-conscious plot, artificial characters, and an unnecessarily sordid realism. The basic facts are unquestionably authentic, and the clash between the Indian traditions and the superimposed American civilization is an ever-present problem. For that reason the book may reach a certain market.
