Reviews for William W. Warren: The Life, Letters, and Times of an Ojibwe Leader
"Schenck's book makes a significant contribution to the historiography of Euro-Indian people in early-nineteenth-century Wisconsin and Minnesota, especially as a resource of detailed information and primary texts. It provides welcome access to a subject, a place, and time, all of which demand more attention from historians."-Jane Lamm Carroll, Minnesota History
