SON OF OLD MAN HAT: A Navaho Autobiography

by Walter As told by Dyk ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 27, 1938

As a human document and primary source material o Indian life and thought and emotion, this is an extraordinary story. It is a book which will have its sale largely to anthropologists and sociologists, and others interested in understanding the Indian way of thought and action. Don't sell to the home missions crowd -- it is a bit raw for them! No self-consciousness about the natural functions. Little reserve about sex. And it is not for the wild west addict -- for there is virtually no adventure, simply a chronological record of a childhood, boyhood, youth and manhood.
