"Momaday gives us a careful, beautifully thoughtful catalogue of the names  of both people and of places  that meant something to him when he was growing up. They help them to become reuse, and he repays them by a very lyrical, at times humorous, reminiscence of how it seemed to him at the time, when he lived with the names in the state of emotional innocence, not fully comprehending how densely textured traditions were, or how much they would contribute to the pattern of his life." Larry McMurtry, from the rear panel blurb. Creasing to the book corners with rubbing of the book edges and panel. Browning of the text clock edges.
